"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dolls’ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."
"A secret little hideaway where you can escape and find harmony and balance for both body and mind. Please note that the spa will remain closed until October 2021. For Further Information and To Book A Spa Day"

"Since opening their doors in November 2015, Hope Mill Theatre has become one of the most successful independent venues in England. Located in Ancoats, they produce full scale musicals from their Grade II listed former mill. The theatre will be reopening this summer, as well as hosting Hope Fest, an outdoor arts and culture festival."
"This wonderful independent venue, located out in New Islington, was one of the few theatres that managed to reopen last year after lockdown. It'll be back again with a reduced capacity and socially distanced seating for a Meet Me At Dawn, from HER Productions. You can get tickets at hopemilltheatre.co.uk."
"Best Dish: Steamed beef tripe honeycomb in black pepper sauce. Ask for the Cantonese dim sum menu, as that’s where you’ll find the most interesting dishes such as smoky pork cheung fun, mixed meat croquette, sticky rice with smoked diced meats, whelks in an mysterious glutinous sauce, deep fried cuttlefish and yam cakes with smoked meat (read our review here).

"Located right in the heart of the city centre, the beautiful Manchester Art Gallery will open most areas of the gallery on May 19. Visitors will be able to explore an exhibition of works selected by artist Grayson Perry during Grayson’s Art Club, the popular Channel 4 TV series, as well as see its collection of 25,000 objects from across the centuries. You can walk in to most of the gallery, but will need to pre-book for Grayson's Art Club at manchesterartgallery.org"
"While not a museum per se, Manchester Art Gallery is home to exhibitions focusing on the development of the arts over time and eras of history. If you are a fashion lover, this should definitely be one of your sightseeing stops, as they usually host at least one exhibition connected to fashion."
