It’s not often you can enjoy eating a leisurely breakfast with trams whizzing over your head but Manchester’s latest hotel opening’s imaginative use of the Deansgate arches lets you do just that
It’s all part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 extraordinary brands which claims the title of the largest Aloft by Marriott in Europe.
The 358-room hotel set over 23 storeys was developed by Dean Street Developments
Our room on floor 20 commanded extraordinary views looking down across Deansgate-It had everything that a hotel room needs to offer in this day and age, comfortable king size bed, walk in shower, fridge and plenty of of storage space
The hotel reception is open and welcoming, the ground floor contains a 360 degree bar with plenty of seating
Floor one features Re:Fuel by Aloft®, the brand’s grab-and-go food and drinks hub which extends across the arches
It offers a grand selection of continental and or hot food as caters well with bold signage for any food intolerances
Families are well catered for with Camp Aloft®, a dedicated programme for kids, while pets are welcomed through Arf® (Animals R Fun) which offers dedicated in-room amenities including toys and treats.
A 24-hour fitness centre serves those who like to keep active, while a private meeting space makes it a practical choice for business travellers.
Room rates start from £95, and Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and redeem points across their stay, with access to mobile check-in and digital key functionality through the Marriott Bonvoy app.
We couldn’t fault in during our brief overnight stay and a special mention to the staff so obviously trained to the highest Marriott standards
