Abel Heywood Boutique Hotel

Slap bang in the Northern Quarter, the Abel Heywood is a gastropub with boutique hotel-style rooms. These are small but well appointed, and there’s free wi-fi. Breakfast is extra (though a bargain), and is worth having – a big choice includes the Manchester fry-up, featuring Bury black pudding. What’s more, it’s served until noon. It’s an easy walk to most of central Manchester from the hotel, including music venues such as Manchester Arena.
