ABode
City centre, Manchester
Stylish and snug sums up ABode nicely. Situated across the road from Piccadilly station, and just a 10-minute stroll from Selfridges and Harvey Nichols, the elegant five-storey hotel sports a handsome 19th-century exterior. Interiors are just as characteristic - think alcove window seating and chequered floor tiling. There are 61 bedrooms split across four categories, each bursting with its own personality, with unifying touches including a dash of tartan and plump mustard-yellow cushions. The traditional brassiere on the fifth floor is a highlight, for both its modern British menu - crab bisque, anyone? - and far-ranging views. Breakfast, meanwhile, is worth lingering over. Expect a superb offering that includes the likes of oat and chia porridge, and smoked salmon and toasted sourdough.
