‘I found the perfect hotel for a Manchester city break – it’s minutes from the train station’

Looking for somewhere to stay in Manchester? We've found the perfect place with this new hotel that offers a prime location, great food and a nod to the city's history

Part of Marriott Hotels’ Tribute Portfolio, its design is inspired by the city’s rich industrial history – something that’s easy to visualise as you look out over the adjacent Rochdale Canal while you enjoy your morning (locally roasted) coffee. The Reach’s rooms are modern, comfy and elegant, many with small balconies overlooking the canal; I loved the little touches in ours like a giant monstera plant in the corner, a pillow mist by the bed and bathroom toiletries made using charcoal (another nod to the Industrial Revolution). For drinks, head to Ad Hoc Wine Shop, Mulligans Irish pub (where connoisseurs say you’ll find the best pint of Guinness in town), or Blinker Bar for speakeasy-style cocktails.
