There are many reasons to plan an escape to Manchester with its laid-back vibe. With a rich artistic, historical, and cultural legacy around the city, plus its many entertainment, nightlife and shopping options, a city visit is a must. However, deciding where to stay on your adventure can feel both exciting and overwhelming, especially as Manchester is a busy and happening city which can also feel full of endless accommodation options. Native ApartHotel is a well-known institution in Manchester, set above the Ducie Street Warehouse, that is perfect for any city-stay, and we have a few reasons it could be just the ticket for you.

 

ApartHotels Have It All

If you’re wondering what an ApartHotel is, you’re not alone. It’s what it says on the tin – a hotel full of apartments. Each space has its own living room, kitchen, and work area for when you want to stay in, cook for yourself, or rest. Our space is for anyone who wants to explore Manchester while staying in stylish accommodation that doesn’t scrimp on luxe elements.

 

Enjoy the Amenities of a Hotel

Each apartment is fully equipped for when you want to stay in, however, each also includes the amenities of a boutique hotel (room service, anyone?) for exceptional comfort. Add to that a daily cleaning service, breakfast, and venues below to work, party, or play in, and you start to see why Native is so popular.

 

Central to the Fun

Native Manchester is home to 161 luxury serviced hotel apartments plus penthouses above the Grade II listed Ducie Street Warehouse. All are aesthetically beautiful inside and out while, best of all – being centrally located. Only two minutes from Manchester Piccadilly and five minutes from local tram stops, including the Northern Quarter and Manchester city centre.

 

Enjoy Everything You Need Onsite

Native Manchester has everything you need in one place, including BLOK gym, dedicated underground parking for those who drive, and an all-day deli service for coffee and snacks. In addition, our fabulous restaurant and bar serve food and drink, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails, and our ever-popular brunch. Any of these can be taken in the lounge or on the outdoor terrace in fine weather. There is even a florist onsite for special occasions too.

 

In-House Events

Then, there are the events and entertainment held onsite. From an in-house Cinema with a 36-seats, musical nights showcasing local Manchester talent, Disco Brunches with bottomless drinks, Spoken Word events, Workshops and much more, you’ll be sure to find an event to suit you. Visit the Ducie Street website for more information on what’s up next at Native Manchester.

 

Discover NATIVE Manchester

With a Winner of The Sunday Times Best Hotel, North of England 2019, you can rest assured that we make it our business to ensure you enjoy your stay. Discover other Native ApartHotel locations, including Mayfair, Bankside, Fenchurch, and Hyde Park, with Scottish Native places, including Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Glasgow is Scotland’s most populated city, but due to its industrial, working-class roots, it has always played second fiddle to Edinburgh, known for its royal history and mediaeval castle. Glasgow, conversely, boasts 19th-century art nouveau buildings, modern architecture and urban rejuvenation projects. Add to that museums and art galleries, whisky distilleries, atmospheric pubs, cocktail bars, and great dining are why many tourists add Glasgow to their Scottish travel itinerary. When spending time in this very cool city, you’ll no doubt want equally stylish accommodation, so we’ve compiled a few of our favourites below to get you started.

 

Native Glasgow

Native Glasgow Apart-Hotel is a league unto its own. Known as one of Glasgow’s most unique boutique spaces, it features luxury apartments repurposed from the former Anchor Line Shipping Company headquarters. To preserve that heritage, décor takes inspiration from the glitz and glamour featured on transatlantic cruise liners that graced Glasgow’s shores during the 1920s golden age. Even the building’s facade maintains many nautical and art deco features built in the early 20th century. These luxurious apartments feature a range of spaces that include a fully equipped kitchen but with two gourmet restaurants onsite, why cook for yourself? Anchor Line Bar and Restaurant, complete with nautical memorabilia, will transport you, harkening back to a bygone era. Get swept up into adventure and times gone by while staying in this decidedly modern venue.

 

CitizenM Glasgow

This hotel is a centrally located favourite packed with style and features for the more tech-savvy traveler. Even before arrival, you can download the citizenM app to your phone for easy self-check-in. You can even order via the app from the canteenM bar and food service, which are open 24 hours a day. After a day out exploring Glasgow rest easy in your spacious, extra-large king bed, luxurious linen and comfy pillows featured in every room. And if you get too hot or cold? The citizenM app can program the air conditioning, switch lights on or off, open and close blinds, or browse television channels. Modern and luxurious decor features throughout the hotel including in the communal lounge, where you’ll be pleased to find colourful artworks, workstations, and sofas for relaxing.

 

Moxy Glasgow Merchant City

Moxy Glasgow is marmite, depending on your taste, but it was one for our list. You’ll undoubtedly spot the bright pink signature neon sign from a mile away in the Merchant City district with the same neon style featured throughout the hotel. The hotel bar features its own unique retro lighting, a full-sized pool table, and large screens for football games. Even the onsite gym continues the bright pink theme with punching bags to match. Expect a complimentary Moxy cocktail when you check in to get your Glasgow visit off to a great start before you head to your room. And what rooms! Moxy takes luxe to another level, with smooth wooden panelling, leather swivel chairs, and an HDTV adorning the wall. For a unique stay, check out Moxy.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the single greatest celebration of arts and culture, and this year celebrates its 75th anniversary. So you know it’s going to be big! From 05 – 29 August 2022. The city of Edinburgh welcomes creative energy from around the world. With artists and performers presenting shows for every taste and audience. Performers include big international entertainment through unknown artists launching their careers and include artists from theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children’s shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and more. It’s an event to attend at least once in your life.

 

One thing though – it’s vital to book your accommodation ahead. So often, as soon as the festival ends, people book for the following year and venues sell out ahead of time. But where to stay? That depends on what you’re looking for. Do you want the space and freedom of a holiday apartment, or would you prefer a hotel? Or, why choose? Why not have both?

 

Native Edinburgh: Ideal Festival Accommodation

Tucked in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed New Town. Native Edinburgh is in the centre of all the festival action, making it the perfect location for your stay. With history, gorgeous design, and a central location – on Queen Street opposite Queen Street Gardens, only a short walk from Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens – this Apart Hotel has it all. Each apartment is either a studio or one-bedroom, providing space and all the amenities you’d expect from a luxury apartment while also benefiting from every extra you’d expect from a boutique hotel. That includes a restaurant and lounge bar, excellent room service if you need a lie-in after a big night, and cleaning for your space. It’s also close to transport links so you can quickly and easily zip around the city to stay amid all the festival happenings.

 

And speaking of our in-venue restaurant and bar – which we call The Counter – is perfect for a night at home. With curated food, drinks, and events, the venue highlights local produce during the day while spotlighting local talent at night. Outside of festival times, we host neo-soul jazz nights and spoken word poetry while providing a space for up-and-coming creatives to perform. Check the website or ask at reception for special festival events that will be taking place. With speak-easy vibes and cocktails galore, The Counter will entice you to spend a night in.

Then Manchester is a busy and happening city which means it can also feel it’s full of endless accommodation options to choose from. Therefore, it’s essential to consider the best accommodation style for you and your travelling companions – whether they be friends or family – before you start your search. For many, the choice comes down to style – do you want the amenities and service that a hotel offers – think restaurant, room service, and daily cleaning. Or do you want the complete freedom, and often the extra space, that comes with an apartment? If both sound appealing, why choose one or the other when you can have both? Discover Native Manchester Apart-Hotel.
