Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel
Mercure Manchester Piccadilly is a large city-centre hotel on Portland Street, beside the bus station and a couple of minutes from Piccadilly Gardens. With 280 contemporary rooms, many high enough for views over Manchester, it's a practical base for Chinatown, the Northern Quarter and Piccadilly station.

Rooms
The 280 rooms are decorated in dark browns and muted tones, and are a reasonable size for a city hotel. Rooms are high enough above Portland Street to escape most traffic noise, and the outlook depends on which side of the building you're on, so ask for a city view if it matters. Free wifi needs no login. It is a straightforward, functional city hotel rather than a destination in itself, chosen mainly for its position.
Eating in
Level 3 is the hotel's restaurant, with a broad menu and views across the city. It's handy for breakfast before an early train or a simple dinner after a long day. With so many restaurants nearby, though, most guests will want to eat out at least one night.
Location
Piccadilly Gardens is a couple of minutes' walk, with trams across the city. The Arch of Chinatown is around the corner, putting dozens of restaurants on your doorstep, and the Northern Quarter's cafés and bars are about ten minutes north. Piccadilly station is within walking distance. Holiday Inn and the Britannia are neighbours if you're comparing options for a group, and Moose is a handy breakfast stop round the corner.
