Manchester’s most famous hotel, the Midland is housed in a landmark Edwardian building, which once belonged to the Midland railway company. Lavishly refurbished, it today melds glamorous 1903 chic with an impeccable deluxe pedigree. This atmosphere of opulence is immediately apparent when you enter the lobby, with its ceramic pillars, tiled floors and large skylight. Also spacious, the 312 designer guestrooms are sleekly appointed in a modern style, with lavish bed covers in rich colours and large-scale images from the city taking up the whole wall behind the beds. All the bedrooms are clean and well maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms. The hotel offers a variety of dining options. The sumptuous and welcoming surroundings of the French Restaurant invite you to relax and enjoy the highest standards of modern French cuisine with a British influence. Long the recipient of two AA rosettes, the restaurant’s experienced Head Chef takes the finest ingredients and gives them that extra special treatment for which this venue is famous. Alternatively, the stylish brasserie offers a delicious à la carte menu of modern European cuisine as well as a fantastic value for money pre-theatre dinner menu. And last but not least, the Wyvern Bar is a matchless venue for cocktails, while the elegant Octagon Lounge serves drinks, deliciously creative light snacks and the ultimate in Afternoon Tea.
