October. Stay a little longer.
This is Trading News, Stock Exchange Hotel’s monthly round-up of where to stay, where to eat and what is worth building an evening around in Manchester.
The evenings draw in, the city turns golden and a night away begins to feel less like an indulgence and more like the sensible thing to do. October is the month for long dinners, late checkouts and mornings that refuse to be rushed.
Where to Stay: Autumn Packages at Stock Exchange Hotel
There is something about an autumn night in the city. Choose to arrive to champagne, dine beneath the dome at tender, sleep soundly in the heart of Manchester and take your time over breakfast or enjoy a 12pm checkout. Our dine and stay packages were made for exactly this.
- The Traders Package is our signature stay: an overnight stay with dinner at tender, champagne, breakfast, complimentary valet parking and a 12pm checkout. It is available Wednesdays to Saturdays
- The Afternoon Tea Escape pairs Michelin-starred afternoon tea by Niall Keating with an overnight stay and breakfast the following morning. It is available Thursdays to Sundays.
