The 85-bedroom hotel is located in the heart of Manchester City Centre.

Constructed in 1870, the property has a grand facade which remained largely unchanged when it was converted into a hotel in 1982.

The Townhouse underwent an extensive refurbishment programme in 2010 to transform it into a 4-star boutique hotel.

The Manchester Art Gallery and the Palace Theatre can be reached in less than 5 minutes’ walk, while the Manchester Piccadilly Railway train station is just a 10-minute walk away. In addition, the property is a 15-minute drive from the Manchester airport.
