It has 2 of Manchester’s popular meeting places in the Wave Bar and Bar-Rogue, providing food all day at affordable prices, with great music and DJs. Add to this Jenny's Carvery, a Pizzeria and the traditional comfort of Crompton's French Restaurant, and you are truly spoilt for choice.

The Britannia Hotel dates back to 1858, when the building was opened as the world’s original cash and carry store. It went on to become the cotton industry’s most famous warehouse.

Lift access is available to the ground floor and all rooms, with accessible rooms and bathrooms available. Restaurants and bars are accessible via stairs. Please note that Crompton’s French Restaurant is not accessible for guests with mobility problems.
