Being
one of the world’s leading cities for business and
the UK’s largest economic region outside London makes Manchester the perfect place to do business. So
if you’re visiting the city on business then you’ll
be pleased to know there is a wealth of hotels, restaurants
and top-class conference centres that cater for all your
needs. For those travelling to the area by air then a hotel that is close to the airport but not too far from the city centre is probably your best option, and Manchester has just what you’re looking for with the Forte Posthouse, the Manchester Airport Moat House and the Hilton Hotel. Situated inside the airport complex, the Forte Posthouse caters very well for business travellers as each room comes with Internet facilities, an interactive TV and pay-to-view movies. The hotel also has a swimming pool, sauna and a fitness club, along with 15 conference rooms, two restaurants and a bar, so you don’t actually need to venture out at all if you don’t want to. Located just a mile from the airport terminal is the Manchester Airport Hilton, part of the world famous Hilton-chain. Here you’ll find all the business and computer facilities you need as well as a swimming pool, nine fully equipped meeting rooms and a secretarial and translation service. If you prefer picturesque views during your business trip then book a room at the Manchester Airport Moat House, which is set in the beautiful Cheshire countryside. It’s just 20 minutes from the city centre and only ten minutes from the airport, and offers a full range of business and conference facilities along with free airport transfers. For city centre business accommodation close to Manchester’s main Piccadilly train station, try the elegantly designed Malmaison Hotel or the Jarvis Piccadilly. Situated just five minutes from the station, the Malmaison Hotel has a traditional brasserie and a bar, along with theatre, classroom and boardroom-style conference rooms. The luxury hotel also has a sauna, solarium and whirlpool so you can relax after a long day of business meetings. Just a stone’s throw away from there you’ll find the four star modern Jarvis Piccadilly, which offers full business facilities and 22 conference rooms. To sample Manchester's renowned conference and hotel facility then check out the Manchester Conference Centre and Hotel in the heart of the UMIST campus. The hotel is just five minutes from Piccadilly train station and the adjoining centre caters for up to 1,500 delegates, making it an ideal place to stay for business visitors. There are boardrooms, lounges, executive boxes, council chambers, garden rooms, ballrooms, lecture theatres, grand suites and even a huge exhibition centre. The purpose-built Manchester International Conference Centre (MICC) is one place that is quickly building up a great reputation for the city in international business circles. Located in the heart of the city, with direct links to the airport and beyond, the MICC adjoins the magnificent 10,350 square metre G-Mex Centre, which is also perfect for exhibitions. Manchester Airport also offers a range of conference facilities including, the Atlantic Suite, which offers the very latest in audio-visual equipment, top-class cuisine and professional conference advisers. Also close to the airport is Cheadle House, a modern residential training and conference centre set within a charming Victorian building. It has eight main meeting rooms, all equipped with audio-visual facilities, and 12 supporting seminar rooms. There is also a restaurant and a bar, serving traditional and continental cuisine. If you’re after a venue with a difference, Manchester doesn’t disappoint. The choices include the magnificent Bridgewater Hall international concert venue, the newly extended Manchester Art Gallery, the Lowry, Manchester Town Hall and the ultra-modern Urbis. Sometimes it may be necessary to hire computer equipment for the duration of your business trip and AC Computer Services in Stockport do just that. They specialise in both the rental of desktop and notebook computers, along with PC, printer and peripheral sales and customer support. Rental can be arranged over a wide number of time periods from a single day to a year, and delivery and installation are included in the service. Finally if you want to sample Manchester's eateries or bar culture during your stay, get along to Deansgate Locks, which has a row of trendy bars, most of which also serve good food. Also worth a visit is the city’s Chinatown, which has a great selection of Oriental restaurants, many of which cater for business lunches and dinners.
