Britannia Sachas Hotel

• City centre location
• Restaurant for breakfast
• Huge conference room

The Britannia Sachas Hotel makes for a handy base in the centre of Manchester. It’s right next to Piccadilly Gardens on Tib Street, so you’re walking distance from practically everywhere. Manchester Arndale shopping centre is less than five minutes’ stroll away, while Chinatown – the second biggest in the UK – is only a little further.

Room-wise, there are options for single travellers, as well as groups – with single, double, twin and triple bedrooms. They all line up the basics, like tea and coffee making facilities, free Wi-Fi, TVs and hairdryers. Jenny’s Restaurant is the place to come for a full English, serving up a buffet breakfast every morning. Plus, there’s a bar for drinks.

Business travellers are well catered for, too. First off, you’re less than 10 minutes’ walk from Manchester Piccadilly Train Station and a minute’s stroll from the nearest Metrolink station. It’s also home to one of the biggest conference rooms in the city, with space for up to 550 guests.
