Located at the heart of Manchester is one of the city’s original hotels – the Portland Hotel Manchester. The hotel, formerly known as the Thistle Hotel Manchester, is a large venue situated at one end of Piccadilly and overlooks the Piccadilly Gardens from its central position. The symmetry of the building with its arches and flags adds a pleasing touch and when lit up at night the three-star hotel exudes a certain elegance and glamour.

The Portland Hotel Manchester is ideal for those visiting for business purposes thanks to Manchester’s status as one of the UK’s best places to do business, while it is also helpful for those looking to explore this the ‘capital of the North’ and its surrounding areas. Indeed, the city is a popular place to visit – one of the most popular in the country in fact.

There is much to see and do in this vast city; firstly there are many restaurant, cafes, bars and shops, most notably in the Arndale Shopping Centre which is just five minutes’ walk from the Portland. Among the other attractions are the two football stadiums – the City of Manchester and Old Trafford, the Manchester Museum and Manchester Cathedral. The three-star Manchester venue is not the only hotel from its group to be situated in the north of England. There are two other venues just to the west of Manchester located in Haydock and a little further away in Liverpool.

Back in Manchester the Portland Hotel features a total of more than 200 guest rooms, a number of which are suites. Some of the rooms are more traditional in style while some feature a more modern outlook. The stylish restaurant and bar offer a relaxing environment in which to enjoy a meal and a drink into the evening, perhaps with some friends or some colleagues after meetings for example.

For functions and events the Portland Manchester Hotel is home to nine different rooms which experience a flexibility allowing them to be used for a variety of different activities and occasions. There is a lake and football theme to the names of the rooms; the largest of them being the Lakeland suite which can host up to 300 visitors. There are also fitness and relaxation opportunities at the hotel which include a swimming pool, a sauna, a steam room, beauty treatments and some gym equipment.
