On my recent business trip to Manchester, I had the opportunity to stay at the Hyatt House Manchester, and it’s an experience I’m eager to share.

This aparthotel, which is a part of the esteemed Hyatt brand, is located in the vibrant heart of Manchester’s Innovation and University District, providing a perfect spot for both business and leisure travellers.

Hyatt House Manchester is managed by Hyatt Hotels Corporation and is owned by M&L Hospitality, a company known for its strategic investments in hospitality properties.

This prime location boasts convenience, situated within close proximity to the city centre, the University of Manchester, and key transportation links. The area is renowned for its lively ambiance, offering an abundance of dining, shopping, and entertainment choices.

Hyatt House Manchester features a modern and sleek design, with a contemporary aesthetic that is both inviting and practical. The hotel offers 116 spacious studio and one-bedroom apartments.

My apartment came fully equipped with a full-sized fridge, Nespresso machine, kettle, microwave, and a fully functional kitchen. The living and working space was very stylish, and the floor-to-ceiling windows provided breath taking views of the city skyline from the 17th floor. It felt as if I could have been in Manhattan, gazing out at the skyline.

The rooms cater to the needs of the modern traveller, boasting amenities like 43” Wi-Fi-enabled smart TVs and desks equipped with USB ports. The interior design strikes a balance between comfort and elegance, featuring plush furnishings, a neutral colour scheme, and considerate details that create a homely feel. Generous wardrobes, robes, slippers, and eco-friendly toiletries are standard, while the ample bathrooms come with Appelles Apothecary & Lab products, and my favourite, a convenient nightlight.

The Laureate restaurant offers a diverse menu of delectable dishes crafted from locally sourced ingredients. On Thursdays, the chef hosts a “curry night,” where each dish is a treasured recipe passed down through generations to the hotel staff, each with its own personal story and sumptuous taste. The Graduate Bar presents a laid-back atmosphere for savouring cocktails, enjoying light snacks, and mingling with colleagues or friends.

For those staying longer, the hotel provides complimentary laundry facilities and in-room spa treatments for ultimate relaxation. Pets are welcome, making it a great choice for travellers with furry companions.

The hotel offers seven dynamic meeting rooms located on a purpose-built floor and equipped with advanced technology, making it an ideal venue for conferences, board meetings, and corporate events. The flexible event spaces can cater to various needs and the hotel have a dedicated team who can help from planning to execution.

Hyatt House is more than just a place to stay; it’s a home away from home.  My stay at was nothing short of excellent. The combination of its strategic location, well-appointed rooms, extremely welcoming staff and helpful staff plus top-notch amenities makes it a perfect choice for anyone visiting Manchester, especially business travellers looking for a seamless and comfortable stay.
