Manchester is the cosmopolitan capital of the North. Malmaison puts you in the heart of the action, ready to explore this famous city.

 By Day

The city centre itself is home to a host of excellent shops, restaurants and bars: in its lovely Spinningfields area, vast Arndale Centre, and the wealth of elegant boutiques along King Street and St Anne's Square. Or for a really intense spell of retail therapy, you can always head a little further afield to the shopping mecca that is The Trafford Centre. At the city's edge, you'll find two famous football clubs, plus Salford Quays, home to The Lowry, Imperial War Museum and MediaCityUK, the new base for the BBC.

By Night

Explore the glamorous nightlife in and around Deansgate, or head to the Northern Quarter, home of Manchester's creative scene for a more laid back vibe. Discover the second largest Chinatown in Britain, or grab a ticket to see one of the many global rock and pop stars playing at the Manchester Arena. You can also head to the stunning Bridgewater Hall for a more cultured musical experience. And for a truly unique theatrical trip, why not try the city's stunning Royal Exchange Theatre, where great dramas are played out 'in the round.'
