The Portland by Thistle - Description

It was textiles that first put Manchester on the world map: during the Victorian era, its numerous mills earned it the nickname 'Cottonpolis'. Its industrial glory days are largely behind it now, but as the unofficial 'capital of the North', it remains the UK's third most-visited city, with a recent survey ranking Manchester as the best place in Britain to do business. Which is one of the main reasons people choose Thistle Manchester. Located in the city centre, overlooking Piccadilly Gardens, we have 205 bedrooms, including 12 suites, and no fewer than nine meeting rooms, the largest of which seats 300 theatre style. But as we're also just five minutes walk from the Arndale Centre, Europe's largest city centre shopping mall, plenty of our guests are here purely for pleasure, too. With NCP parking available nearby, Thistle Manchester puts the city's many other attractions with easy reach, including the Lowry Centre, and of course, the hallowed turf of Old Trafford; but if you simply want to relax, our Otium Health & Leisure Club has everything you could wish for, without even leaving the hotel.
