Whether you’re heading to Manchester to catch your pop idol, see an iconic rock band or chuckle along to some comedy, you’re in for an incredible evening of entertainment. And like many, you may wish to add to the experience with an overnight stay in the city. By doing things this way, you can check out some of Manchester’s best restaurants pre-show, or cap the night with cocktails after, free from the rush to get home at a decent hour. You could even make a long weekend of it, and really get to know this fascinating city a little better. Fortunately, there’s a hotel near Manchester Arena to suit all tastes and budgets.
