Lock & Key

This contemporary studio apartment is your gateway to the best of Manchester's attractions. Whether you're travelling for work or pleasure, your building's location close to the Northern Quarter and St. Peter's Square makes it ideal for a central city break. When you're not exploring the city, make yourself at home in this cosy studio, where you'll find a well-equipped kitchenette with a dishwasher and oven, plus a cosy sitting area. This 18th-century building has been redesigned by architecture firm Gryzwinski+Pons, and this apartment showcases the building's history with exposed brick walls and heritage features. After a day of visiting Manchester's museums and dining in vibrant cafes, you might be tempted by a restaurant meal in the Northern Quarter – but we won't judge if you decide on a home-cooked meal back at your apartment. As night draws in, head back out to experience the city's nightlife, or just settle down in front of the Apple TV.
