Where to go in Manchester

Small enough to be intimate but still big enough to be vibrant, once you arrive you’ll quickly learn how compact Manchester is. Divided into distinct areas, each has its own character and appeal, and all within easy walking distance of each other.

City Inn Manchester is ideally located opposite Piccadilly Mainline Railway Station in the Piccadilly Place development and is within easy access to the business and shopping district.

Deansgate, King Street & St Ann's Square play host to prestigious designer stores from all over the world.

The Northern Quarter is the creative, urban heart with independent fashion stores, record shops and cafes.

Spinningfields is the newly developed quarter combining the history of the John Rylands Library, People's History Museum and the Opera House with retail, leisure, and business.

Exchange Square & New Cathedral Street have the biggest names in fashion, Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and lots more.

Manchester Arndale and the pedestrianised Market Street have all the high street favourites and a few independent surprises.

The conference quarter, Peter's Fields, houses the Great Northern Complex and Manchester Central (formerly MICC & GMEX).

A short distance from the hotel you can find the Chinatown district, made up of Oriental businesses including Chinese, Thai, Japanese & Korean restaurants.

The Gay Village has a unique atmosphere with restaurants, bars, and clubs around the vibrant heart of Canal Street.

Castlefield is the place to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life with waterside pubs and bars.

Maps are available from Guest Services, as well as tickets for concerts, sporting events, theatre shows and car hire, which can all be arranged by our Guest Services team.
