    - Hilton on Deansgate (the really tall building)?
    - De Vere in Cheadle (there are two of them)
    - Ramada in Salford Quays

    I think this is where you want to stay though:
    Knutsford Cheshire Luxury Hotels | The Mere Golf Resort & Spa | Hotels in Manchester Area

    Have a look at Salford Quays hotels - some nice walks there and a few decent hotels. (walking distance to OTCG)
    None of them are boutique, they are all mainstream hotels. Nothing clever about them compared to a small boutique one.

        NLUK is right the Didsbury House Hotel is lovely. It's sister hotel in town is the Great John St Hotel also lovely.

        No real boutique hotels in town (other than above) but the mainstream ones aren't too bad and all close to the tram stops for getting to Old Trafford.

        The one in Didsbury is on the main University bus route with a bus almost every minute it seems.

          I remember how much you loved lounging about in the cast iron bath with that glass of wine while I sat on the bed and chatted.... Ahh that was a good night...

              Sorry I missed that point in my fit of rage.... Didsbury House sounds good and Didsbury is lovely when the weather is half decent (almost never round here so good luck with that one). Also if you are in Didsbury I would recommend Istanbul Grill - great turkish food. Get the Iskandar Kebab if you go there.

                      The hilton on deansgate is good and the views are impressive. I've stayed in tall buildings before, but usually they have been surrounded by other tall buildings, so you lose the feeling of height. The hilton is on its own so this isn't the case and you have unobstucted views. If you pay for their executive room you get access to their executive lounge and a free bar!

                      I like the radisson in Manchester also.
                      Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                      I preferred version 1!
