The very best spas in Manchester to try this autumn
"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 dollsâ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."
"When the big city gets too big and the bright lights too blinding, we have the perfect solution. Find your sanctuary at Malmaison Manchester Spa. Whether you want to get glammed up and gorgeous for your big night out or melt away that tension after a hard week at work, this place is your perfect spa escape."
" Set in the lush Malmaison Hotel in the very heart of Manchester, near Piccadilly Station and Gardens, Smoak Bar & Grill is a feast for the senses ..." Read our full review"
"Village Warrington is located off Junction 9 from the M62 and situated midway between Liverpool, Manchester and Chester. A 25 minute drive from both Liverpool and Manchester Airports. Surrounded by the beautiful Cheshire countryside, the hotel is perfectly placed for visits to Arley Hall and Gardens, Tatton Park, Delamere Forest and the children will love Gulliverâs World."
"If youâd prefer a more relaxed environment away from luxurious hotels, Spa Satori is located in the heart of Manchesterâs hipster neighbourhood. Offering a variety of treatments for both men and women, the spa focuses on beauty treatments such as facials, waxing and brows alongside a variety of massages, holistic treatments, acupuncture and detoxing procedures. Opt for their Ultimate Stress Relief massage if your day-to-day life has left you feeling tense and exhausted."
"Satori Northern Quarter is an ultimate sanctuary to rest your tired and weary body. Managed by Jennie Lawrenson, a highly qualified therapist, she is dedicated to providing the ultimate wellness for all her clients. Passionate in helping all customers to reach their optimum health and wellness, she provides different services and treatments that are sure to aid you and take away all the pain that you are feeling in your body."
"Spa aficionados who have âbeen there, done thatâ might want to try Spa Satori. These guys cater to both men and women with seriously necessary signature treatments like Moody Cow, Men Are From Mars, and Hangover Recovery. Thereâs also a selection of Ethical Body Wraps, specialist treatments like Reiki healing, reflexology, and colonic hydrotherapy."
"From tallest to smallest with a modest outpost on Oxford Road. Big Hands is an important part of the roof terrace ecosystem providing a rough and ready alternative to all that shiny metal and glass. Perhaps more known for providing the backdrop to messy, ill-remembered afterparties with whichever indie band has recently rolled into town, if you want to get drunk in the sun, with a spot of up-cycled wood and plastic sheeting for when it buckets down, there are worse places to be."
"Big Hands, 296 Oxford Road, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M13 9NS. Youâll probably spot Big Handsâ roof terrace a few minutes before arrival, with a huge advertising billboard on its back wall, and tall leafy plants camouflaging the seating area. This is shabby chic at its finest â white plastic seating with eclectic plant pots at every step."
"You won't have far-reaching views from Big Hands, nor will you have any award-winning interior design, but you will find bags of charm and character. You can go around the world in lagers and pilsners and sit up on the rooftop on this Oxford Road original. It's always a favourite for a pre- or post-gig pint, if you remember those."
"On selected dates throughout the year, the amazing and fun Brunch with Birch runs in Manchester, so if youâre looking for a cracking bottomless brunch in Manchester, then check to see if this one is running this week!. Itâs hosted by alien drag icon Juno Birch and has appearances from other UK drag stars, so youâre in for a great time with this one. For ÂŁ43.95pp you get over four hours of partying, sharing chips and dip, a brunch dish of choice, performances and games, and ninety minutes of bottomless bubbles!"
"A laid-back bar and restaurant, the Banyan Tree creates a menu of international dishes using local produce. With comfy sofas, booth areas and vibrantly decorated walls, it is a bright and contemporary venue serving an exciting array of food and drink."
"Just a short tram ride away from the city centre is Slattery, the home of desserts and all things chocolate!. The Whitefield shop is full of surprises â including the Strawberry and Marshmallow Kebabs served with two chocolate pots filled with white and milk liquid Belgian chocolate â perfect for âdunkingâ in!. Or you could really test yourself and try their Chocolate Challenge."
"Because, almost everyone who makes special ceremonies such as weddings, engagements and birthdays in Manchester has made purchases from this place. Their cakes are very famous and very delicious. There are homemade chocolates, fresh cream cakes and yummy cakes."
"đ° A wonderfully chocolatey Afternoon Tea, cakes, waffles, ice cream and their super-sweet Chocolate Challenge (which is far more difficult than it looks!)"
