Book a city break with design kudos and a central location
The name’s Alan. The Alan. Meet Manchester’s coolest city break.
If you’re looking for a weekend getaway you don’t need to go far to find an achingly-hip hotel with that glossy travel supplement sheen.
We’re not talking Munich or Madrid. Manchester’s The Alan is one of the trendiest hotels around with a central location that means you can be right in the heart of the city without having to hop from Uber to Uber.
Whether you’re looking for culture, shopping or bagging a table at the hottest new bars and restaurants, The Alan is just a short walk away from everywhere you’d want to be.
That’s if you can bear to leave the hotel: it has serious design credentials with neutral pastel shades softening an industrial edge and beautifully-crafted bespoke touches from local makers and artisans.
Beds are big and comfy, the rainfall showers are an instant de-stress, and everything is curated to look exactly right - like an interiors magazine or a Pinterest mood board come to life.
Did we mention the cocktails? An early-evening sharpener in the bar is a must. The hotel is a haven for the city’s creatives and there is always a buzz. Pretty appropriate for Manchester.
Discover why The Alan is our top recommendation for cool city breaks in the North.
