Renaissance Manchester City Centre is a sharp three-and-a-half-pearl Marriott chain property with a top location, especially for shoppers. Harvey Nichols, Selfridges, and the Arndale Centre are all within an easy walk. The intimate restaurant serves a decent buffet breakfast, and there are several event spaces. The 203 rooms are spacious for such a central location, and Nespresso machines in the higher grade rooms are a welcome addition. There's not a lot more on-site, though guests have free access to a local fitness center, which has a pool. Annoyingly common in chain hotels, there's a fee for Wi-Fi except in public spaces, and the hotel can be quite busy. Guests looking for a few more features could check out The Midland, which has two restaurants, a gym, and free Wi-Fi.

The two-and-a-half-pearl Premier Inn Manchester Airport (M56/J6) Runger Lane North offers comfortable accommodations for travelers passing through Manchester Airport. It’s a no-frills, budget-friendly hotel that’s best suited for short stays, but it does have an on-site restaurant that serves breakfast for an extra charge, plus there's an a la carte dinner menu and a bar. There's also a popular chain coffee shop on-site and a free, one-way airport shuttle. The hotel's 166 modern guest rooms are basic and although they're accented with pretty shades of purple, the overall look is a bit drab. Still, units are comfortable and generally well-maintained, and all have AC, flat-screen TVs, kettles, and free Wi-Fi. Travelers looking for an upscale property that's even closer to the airport can consider Radisson Blu Hotel, Manchester Airport.

Le Ville Hotel is a 24-room budget property located on Canal Street in central Manchester, in the heart of the city’s Gay Village. This is also the center of the city’s vibrant party scene, making the hotel popular with party-goers -- be aware that weekends can get especially noisy. Le Ville's location commands high room rates, but other budget hotels offer better value. Travelers might want to consider the Premier Inn Manchester City Centre Portland Street, which has an on-site restaurant and bar, a “Quiet Time” policy, and good online deals. Gardens Hotel is another good budget choice, with much larger rooms than at Le Ville Hotel.

Being the only hotel physically connected to Manchester Airport, via an elevated walkway, is certainly convenient -- and the hotel's large, airy lobby is actually reminiscent of an airport check-in area. Rooms are smart and well-equipped, though at the mercy of the air-conditioning as windows don't open. An on-site health club with pool and gym is a bonus, but the prices at the hotel restaurant are a little inflated. There are a few other hotel options, such as the Hilton or Crowne Plaza, which are also four-star and tend to be slightly cheaper.

Under its impressively sweeping modern frontage, the upper-middle-range Macdonald Manchester is a pretty traditional, even conventional, hotel. Rooms are good enough, with plenty in the way of amenities, though most have a fairly uninspiring finish. The steak restaurant is a strong selling point, but the spa could use a pool or whirlpool (though it is a plus that there is a spa at all for this category). The hotel's convenient location is one of its strong points -- it's just around the corner from Manchester's main train terminal, Piccadilly Station. If you're looking for something in the area, it may be worth your while to check out the rates at the nearby DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly.

From its jazzy glass frontage to its sleek, angular interiors, this upscale hotel pushes all the right design buttons for those keen on unabashedly bold contemporary styling. The location is great if you're not after a city center setting, and rooms come with Egyptian cotton sheets and free "sleep packs" with aromatherapy sprays. Dining and drinking options are impressive, but the health and fitness facilities are limited to just a small gym and there's no parking on-site. The rates aren't bad for this caliber of hotel, but if you're on a strict budget, consider the Holiday Inn Express around the corner.

There are certainly advantages to choosing an apartment over a standard hotel room, and Roomzzz Aparthotel makes the idea even more appealing. Units are self-contained (meaning they come with fully-equipped kitchens), and have a high-end, contemporary finish. The rooms come equipped with impressive technological features and have stylish bathrooms. Roomzzz is located right in Manchester's city center, so noise is a possibility on lower floors, and some apartments show some wear. That said, if a luxury apartment stay in central Manchester is what you're after, this is a clear winner.

The interiors of Velvet are unabashedly plush, and both the lobby and lounge bar are impressive examples of maximalist design. It's located in the heart of Manchester's gay district, and within walking distance of Chinatown and the Piccadilly railway station. Each room is individually styled, and none fall short on amenities. The basement restaurant offers quality dining, and the bar hosts DJ nights on the weekends. Noise can be an issue when the nightlife really gets going, but it's a fun and fabulous hotel for those looking for a more energetic scene.

It's rare to find a hotel set in a lovely old Victorian schoolhouse, and even rarer to find one renovated with such a degree of panache -- interiors effortlessly blend original fixtures with vintage pieces and warm contemporary design. Rooms are no less impressive, with charming eclectic furnishings and smart, modern finishes. The location isn't bad either -- central yet quiet next to the famous Coronation Street Studios. A rooftop garden with hot tub overlooking Manchester is also a special touch. Those looking for more budget-friendly options might want to check out the Radisson Blu Edwardian a few blocks away.

Although impressive from the outside, the Arora Hotel doesn't quite deliver with its interiors, which are smart and modern, but largely lacking in character. Rooms, too, are perfectly adequate, with all the amenities you'd expect, but offer little to raise them above the average. The on-site restaurant, 24 Bar & Grill, does promise an impressive menu, and the hotel's excellent central location means there are plenty of other dining options at its doorstep. All in all, the hotel is a pretty good value for where it's situated, but travelers seeking a bit more style might consider The Midland nearby.
