"Originally a gentleman’s club, the Racquet Club Hotel provides elegant Victorian decor, wonderfully traditional while simultaneously trendy and stylish. A small family-run hotel, this establishment provides a generous variety of facilities for guests, such as an award-winning fine dining restaurant, a gym and two squash courts. This historic building dating back to the 1800s is the perfect place for guests who are hoping for an authentic and relaxing experience."

"Creaky floorboards, mismatched antique furnishings and unstuffy service sets the Racquet Club apart. Once a private gentlemen's club, the hotel is a refreshing antidote to the clinical stylings of some of the city's self-styled urban hotels. The rooms (of which there are eight) have individual charm, the artwork is local, and guests can use the hotel's gym and squash courts (should you be travelling with a racquet)."

"Situated in the new financial district of Manchester, a few minutes stroll away from Deansgate, Zizzi Italian restaurant in Spinningfields offers some of the finest al fresco dining in Manchester, with views overlooking the River Irwell."
