The recently refurbished city centre Marriott V&A hotel is located on the banks of the River Irwell in pleasant surroundings. Converted from a former warehouse, the hotel is still bursting with original features, from original oak beams to exposed brick. The special features of this hotel are the trademark Marriott beds, with down pillows and duvets, and padded mattresses. The bedrooms are fully equipped with modern, contemporary furnishings, and have high-speed internet access. The V&A Lounge Bar is an especially attractive area, with views over the river, and the V&A Restaurant provides a very comfortable setting for fine dining. Rates are based on double occupancy. Charges for extra adults may apply and will be due directly to the hotel.

Manchester Destination Overview
|
Pleasant open countryside with picturesque villages surrounds
Manchester, United Kingdom, and there are numerous art galleries,
theatres, museums and country houses to visit. Manchester receives hundreds of thousands of visitors each year from
all over the world. Britain's second largest city is also one of it's
most dynamic and cosmopolitan. There is a growing desire to develop
Manchester's individuality, to avoid mediocrity and to encourage high
quality design whether it be in the conservation of its 19th century
buildings, or in the design of modern buildings, or in the treatment of
its open spaces. Manchester is the Northwest's regional center for finance, commerce,
retail, culture and leisure, home to a major international airport and
one of the largest student populations in Europe.
It has transformed
itself from an industrial city dependent on manufacturing to a thriving,
modern, international center. It is now rated among the top ten European
cities for business location. Manchester is easily accessible from all parts of Britain and beyond. The city is the hub of an excellent motor way system linking the south
with the north; the east with the west. A frequent Intercity service
serves two main Manchester railway stations, Victoria and Piccadilly.
A
regional service links the local and surrounding areas. Coach travel is
economical and convenient. Several examples of 18th century buildings and street patterns remain
in the City Center and in some outlying districts, but it is the
Victorian and Edwardian plan and building form which dominates the city. Manchester has established itself as a leading center of youth
culture. Its large student population is an essential ingredient in the
unique 'Manchester scene' and this results in an exciting variety of
entertainment.
Mancunians appreciate the importance of an active and
varied social life. The club and dance scene in the city is legendary. Manchester has the whole range of pubs from the traditional 'real ale'
variety to the city center wine and cocktail bars. Prices are lower than
in many parts of Britain so students can still afford to enjoy
themselves in the city. Manchester is one of the most important theatrical centers outside
London's West End.
Visitors will find a large choice of theatres and
productions, from touring musicals at the Palace Theatre and Opera House
to the more innovative, fringe or community events at the smaller
theatres. The University has its own theatre, the Capitol. Music is one of Manchester's greatest exports. The city has two
internationally renowned orchestras, the Hallé and the BBC Philharmonic,
which as well as playing to packed houses in Manchester also perform all
over the world. Other classical and contemporary performances are provided by the
Manchester Camerata Chamber Orchestra and The Royal Northern College of
Music.
For many, the city is renowned for the Manchester sound, which
has catapulted some of its home grown bands into musical legend. Pop and Indie fans from all over Britain and abroad see Manchester as
the focus of the current music scene. The wide variety of venues means
that the whole range of music styles can be presented: including
classical, chamber, opera, jazz and blues, folk, and pop. The treasures of Manchester can be viewed in its many galleries and
art centers, including works of the great masters and modern
contemporary art. The city has developed vast libraries with thousands
of volumes housed in public buildings which are a great resource for
students of any subject.
The region also has a long pre-industrial
history dating back to Roman times. Manchester has a fifteenth century
cathedral and many other historic buildings which can be enjoyed by
visitors. As well as two world-famous Premier League football teams, and a test
and county cricket venue, facilities to watch or participate in most
sports are available throughout the city. Its rich industrial and commercial heritage is everywhere to be seen
and enjoyed: cotton warehouses converted to modern uses, railway
bridges, viaducts, quays and peaceful waterways. Alongside this is the wealth of the great Victorian Manchester
celebrated in ornate municipal architecture, adorned buildings, facades,
stonework, steeples and spires.
Examples abound all over the city: the
splendor of its neo-gothic Town Hall, the Free Trade Hall and the
Charter House Hotel. The past is proudly cherished with heritage centers and museums which
allow a glimpse of the Manchester of old. The Urban Heritage Park in
Castlefield is a historical landscape of industrial museums, working
exhibitions, canal-side pubs, narrow boats and walkways. For those who appreciate open spaces there are many large parks and
gardens. Heaton Park and Platt Fields are both large areas of attractive
park land in easy reach of the city center.
Manchester's excellent
central location, motor way and transport system also means that some of
Britain's most scenic countryside is readily accessible, including the
Peak District and Pennines, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Cheshire and
North Wales. Manchester has many individual and specialized shops and boutiques. The city center also contains many interesting and attractive shopping
environments including Arndale Center and the more elegant Corn and
Royal Exchanges. There is also the more unusual and alternative fashion
center, Affleck's Palace. The new Marks and Spencers has four floors,
each the size of a football field and includes a customer lounge "where
shoppers can put up their feet, watch television and read a newspaper."
.
Exciting and varied restaurants and cafés exist all over Manchester. There is Chinese and Cantonese cuisine, as well as American, Dutch,
English, French, Greek, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mexican,
Middle Eastern, Persian, Spanish, Turkish and Vietnamese.
