Clayton Hotel Manchester

Clayton Hotel Manchester is a large modern hotel with 329 air-conditioned rooms, a gym, meeting and event spaces, and a restaurant.

The lobby with its lofty ceilings, exposed metal staircase and floor-to-ceiling windows is striking and modern. Rooms are spacious with comfortable beds and thoughtful, practical touches such as ergonomic desks for business travellers. The mix of materials and textures adds a softness that is often missing from stark hotel rooms and makes everything seem more welcoming.

No.55 Restaurant & Bar is a well-designed spot serving more than just hotel breakfast. It’s a good place for lunch and dinner with a focus on sustainably-sourced ingredients. Great cocktails, too.
