It is little wonder that Manchester is a city that attracts spa goers for every occasion. The sheer volume of places to go including fashionable bars and restaurants makes it both romantic and perfect for hen parties and groups of friends looking for a weekend spa break in Manchester. Then again, this warm and welcoming city invites families exploring the northern hotspot as well, whether it’s sightseeing on an open top bus in the summer or visiting the Christmas markets come December.
Manchester is no stranger to a really specialised wellbeing and beauty spa break either, as those who have had the pleasure of visiting spa hotels such as The Lowry will know. This uniquely splendid hotel in Salford is home to a superb spa, where skincare is taken to a whole new level of excellence. It’s perfect for a visit before a special occasion or a night out.
Perhaps one of the city’s most renowned destinations is The Spa at The Midland. Located in one of the city’s most beautiful historic buildings, it has everything a guest could ask for on either a spa day in Manchester, or an overnight break. A surprisingly large spa area is equipped with all the facilities for a truly relaxing day of pampering and relaxation.
Alternatively, couples can be guaranteed a seductively good time at Malmaison Manchester for romantic spa breaks. The nationwide brand retains its reputation for cocktails and mood lighting amidst contemporary design. Macdonald Manchester Hotel and Spa is a favourite as well for its guaranteed quality.
Then again, Manchester is within easy reach of some spectacular countryside, and hotel spas that accompany it as well. A hop, skip and a jump and country houses greet you. Visit Marriott's Worsley Park from a cheap and cheerful £35 each, for example, or go for an exceptionally stylish visit to Oddfellows on the Park in Cheadle.
