If you’re after a blend of hotel-grade luxury with the privacy and space of a home, then CitySuites II is where you want to be. Located right next door to the original CitySuites and just a five-minute stroll from Deansgate and the Arndale Shopping Centre, this new addition is your ultimate base for exploring Manchester in style. From the moment you step inside, the apartments offer everything you could possibly need for a premium city stay.
Think plush The White Company toiletries, a GHD hairdryer for those perfect hair days, and a Nespresso coffee machine for your caffeine fix – because let’s face it, that first cup of coffee sets the tone for the day. All apartments also feature fully equipped kitchens (perfect for cooking up your own culinary masterpieces, or just heating up last night’s takeaway), along with superfast Wi-Fi to keep you connected during your stay.

You’ll feel like royalty with their 24-hour concierge at your service, plus access to a matrix gym, luxury pool, and steam room to help you unwind after a busy day. If you’re here with family or planning a longer stay, you’ll love the Two- and Three-Bedroom apartments – they’re spacious, stylish, and feel like home, but better.

Our Stay: A perfect weekend getaway
We stayed at CitySuites II for the weekend and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The apartment was modern, spacious, and beautifully designed – the perfect home-from-home while exploring the city. The bonus was the delicious food at Embankment Kitchen; we kicked off our mornings with a delicious breakfast and spent our evenings enjoying creative cocktails at the bar.
The staff were welcoming, the facilities were top-notch, and the location couldn’t be more convenient for getting around Manchester.
