Serviced apartments in Manchester offer
business travellers a perfectly designed base which caters to your needs while
working away from the office. Blending the services you’d expect from a high-end hotel with the luxury and freedom found in a private rented apartment, SilverDoor
serviced apartments appeal to professionals who appreciate a comfortable space
to prepare and recuperate between important business meetings and
presentations.
For a short-stay business trip or a long stay business
residence, our serviced apartments in Manchester offer a range of benefits
other accommodation simply cannot match:
·
Incredible value:
for the features of a serviced apartment, compared with hotel equivalents, the
savings made are clear. In addition to being excellent value for money, our
apartments decrease in nightly cost once a booking surpasses a duration
threshold, meaning longer stays are even more cost-effective.
·
Peace and
privacy: a Manchester serviced apartment is removed from the public, unlike a hotel room which
is often located in a busy hallway with fixed service hours. With a SilverDoor
apartment, you have a private, spacious living space in which you can relax on
your own terms. You can also arrange service hours so as to not disturb your
schedule.
·
Space and
flexibility: besides having multiple rooms for separate functions, a serviced
apartment offers you a more flexible lifestyle. You can shift gears between
nights out with colleagues and clients and nights in with a self-prepared meal.
You will also have the space needed to work in peace without being interrupted.
You’ve booked your serviced apartment in Manchester for your
important business stay – but our service doesn't stop there. Below are some important facts and tips to ensure you are
prepared for your trip.
Transport for Manchester
Being the third most populous and third most visited
city in the UK, it is no surprise that Manchester is equipped with an extensive
transport network. The city can be reached by air, road or railway, with a
number of large stations, such as Piccadilly and Oxford Road, providing direct
rail access to cities across the UK. Within the city, there is a variety of
inexpensive transport options available, including a free bus around the city
centre, tram and public bus service. You can also purchase a System One Travelcard to
easily move between bus and tram across the city. Needless to say, the roads of
Manchester are serviced by hundreds of taxis if you are in need of a last-minute ride
to an urgent meeting.
Weather in Manchester
Manchester, like many cities in Northern England, is
known for its high rainfall and generally cooler temperatures. It is always
worth packing a warm and waterproof coat when visiting, as even during the
summer months Manchester isn’t renowned for especially warm heat. When the sun
does strike, however, there are plenty of canal-side venues where you can enjoy
the heat and sunshine.
Cuisine
With a restaurant list as diverse and populous as its
inhabitants, Manchester has a lot to offer in the way of fantastic and varied
cuisine. Wilmslow Road – also known as ‘Curry Mile’ – is thought to be home to
the largest concentration of South Asian restaurants outside the Indian
subcontinent. From vegan diners to celebrity chef restaurants – such as The
French (with head chef Adam Reid), Manchester has plenty of top-rate eateries
to suit your taste, within walking distance of many serviced apartments in Manchester.
History of Manchester
Its name is derived from the Roman fort which stood in
its place – Mamucium – but Manchester has a rich and varied history which spans
thousands of years. Manchester’s growth truly exploded during the Industrial
Revolution when it became a key distribution centre for cotton and yarn. Many
of the mills and warehouses from the era can still be seen today, as can
impressive structures such as the Royal Exchange on Cross Street.
Today Manchester is a going concern, both for the
North of England the UK as a whole. It has an economy larger than that of Wales
or Northern Ireland and is seeing growth in business and finance services,
creative and digital and healthcare innovation.
Musical legacy
Like its Liverpudlian counterpart, Manchester is famed
for its musical past. Being at the forefront of the ‘Indie’ movement with bands
like The Smiths having a distinctly Mancunian tone and then dominating the
Brit Pop wave with the unstoppable Oasis, Manchester has a rich musical
heritage and is home to many tourist-attracting locations, such as the infamous
Salford Lads’ Club.
Museums for all
With its prevalence in modern culture, it is only
right that Manchester houses many distinct museums and galleries reflecting contemporary
society. The People’s History Museum is one such attraction, drawing in an
audience interested in the development of modern society. Contrastingly, the
National Football Museum attracts millions of sports enthusiasts from across
the UK. Other unusual venues include the Greater Manchester Police Museum and
the Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art.
Backbone of Britain
Due to its importance in British trade, Manchester is crisscrossed by canals once used to transport precious cargo for trade and industry. In fact, one of the earliest canals in Britain – the Bridgewater Canal – ran into the city. Today the canals serve as historical reminders, but can also be explored for leisure – with plenty of footpaths providing opportunities for a stroll. Today Manchester is a corporate hub and powerhouse city of the North, meaning there is no shortage of serviced apartments in Manchester to service visiting corporate travellers.
