Fodor's Expert Review The Alan
18 Princess St., Manchester, M1 4LG, England
This design-led option in a historic building combines a central location and hip vibe with affordable rates. Rooms with their original features including steel girders have emperor-size beds and smart TVs with Bluetooth speakers and smart concierge technology, while the all-day restaurant champions local British suppliers including an artisanal butcher from the nearby Northern Quarter. There’s also a lively feel thanks to locals who use the hotel as a co-working space, with day passes that include lunch, unlimited tea and coffee, superfast Wi-Fi, and curated playlists.
PROS
- sustainably designed reusing original features and materials
- great vegan options in the restaurant
- lively public spaces
CONS
- historic building not fully suited to those with mobility issues
- not in the prettiest part of town
- can get crowded with locals using the co-working spaces
