A modern four-star hotel on Dickinson Street, close to Chinatown and the Gay Village.
Novotel Manchester Centre is a modern four-star hotel at 21 Dickinson Street, Manchester M1 4LX, close to Chinatown and the Gay Village in the centre of Manchester, England. The location is a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens, St Peter's Square and Oxford Road station, and it is within reach of the Northern Quarter on foot. The nearby Deansgate-Castlefield tram stop and the central bus routes make travelling around the city straightforward, while Manchester Central and the Bridgewater Hall can be reached in about ten minutes.
The building is a contemporary hotel of the Novotel brand, designed around practicality, with an open and bright look rather than a historic character. Its position in the streets around Chinatown gives it a lively atmosphere in the evenings, with many restaurants and bars close at hand, and a quieter feel in the daytime when the neighbourhood is mostly shops and offices.
Room types include Standard rooms, Family rooms and Superior rooms. Rooms are typically spacious for a city hotel, with sofa beds in many family layouts, Wi-Fi, work desks and air conditioning. The hotel has a gym for guests, and family rooms make the property a popular choice for parents travelling with children who want to stay centrally.
Dining is served by an on-site restaurant and bar. Breakfast is offered as a buffet with hot and cold options and is a strong point for families, and the restaurant serves lunch and dinner with a menu aimed at international guests. Chinatown is on the doorstep, offering a wide range of East Asian restaurants for guests who prefer to eat out.
The service character is relaxed, family friendly and business capable. Reception staff can advise on trams, trains and local attractions. Low-season rates usually run from GBP 85 to 135 per night, and high-season rates from GBP 110 to 190, with higher prices on event weekends and during major concerts.
