Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central

Leonardo Hotel Manchester Central is a bright modern hotel with a fantastic location. It’s very near to the Bridgewater Hall and HOME for cultural activities, and handy for Manchester Central Convention Complex if you’re travelling for business.

The hotel is part of the Leonardo Hotels group so you get the convenience of booking with a big chain which offers loyalty points, good facilities and, most importantly, the comfortable DREAM beds for which they’re known.

The bar and lounge area is very appealing (and far less corporate than you might expect). Rich turquoise hues, exposed brickwork and Persian carpets make the downstairs a welcoming place to hang out and relax, grab a coffee and do some work, or start your trip with a drink at the bar.

There’s a restaurant that serves a breakfast buffet in the mornings before moving on to artisan pizzas, fish dishes and steaks later in the day. Given the excellent location, you’re never going to be short of places to eat and drink.

There are 265 rooms decorated in neutral tones with pops of bright colours. Choose from standard doubles (some with impressive views), twin rooms and spacious executive rooms, all with the facilities you would expect, from flat-screen TVs and ironing boards to toiletries and tea and coffee.
