The on-site bar is a smart, sociable space, ideal for pre-gig drinks without the massive queues. Expect a decent wine list and a solid selection of local craft ales. It’s not trying to be a clubbing venue; it’s a comfortable launchpad for your evening.
Breakfast is a straightforward, satisfying affair. Think pastries, full English options, and a proper coffee machine. It’s the fuel you need before a day of shopping at Selfridges or exploring the nearby Spinningfields district.
For dinner, you are spoilt for choice in the Printworks. From the sizzling steaks at Toby Carvery to the fresh sushi at Yakisoba, there’s something for every craving. Pro tip: the Nando’s downstairs is always a reliable, happy accident.
Cultural & Local Connections
This hotel sits at the crossroads of Manchester’s musical legacy. You are a short walk from the site of the old Hacienda club and a stone’s throw from the legendary Salford Lads Club. The ghost of Madchester is everywhere.
It’s also the perfect base for a city walking tour. Wander through the Northern Quarter’s independent shops and street art, then dive into the history of the city’s industrial revolution at the Science and Industry Museum. You can do it all in a relaxed long weekend.
PREMIER INN MANCHESTER CITY CENTRE (ARENA/PRINTWORKS) HOTEL - Updated
Fun fact: The hotel’s entrance is situated directly above a section of the old Manchester Victoria railway arches. You are literally sleeping atop nearly two centuries of railway history, with the rumble of trains a gentle, grounding hum.
