Special offer

But even if you are not lucky, you can still save 44 per cent on a luxurious weekend break there, paying just £55 per person for one night’s accommodation, full English breakfast and a complimentary bottle of wine per booking to celebrate your arrival.

The hotel, built in the heady days of the British Empire, has witnessed some of the great meetings of the 20th Century, including that of Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce, the founders of Rolls-Royce, and a £15 million refurbishment is restoring its famed grandeur.

All its 312 en-suite bedrooms have air-conditioning, iron and ironing board, mini bar and round-the-clock room service and guests enjoy use of its Health and Leisure Club with a swimming pool, jacuzzi, spa, solarium and sauna, plus a gym and squash court for the more energetic.

You may choose to dine in the Midland’s elegant French Restaurant, awarded two AA rosettes for its excellent cuisine, or opt for the Colony Restaurant, which offers an enticing selection of gourmet meals in a relaxed atmosphere.

The hotel’s location is perfect because Manchester has literally grown up around it,with the Manchester Central Convention Complex next door and the Bridgewater Hall conference venue, Opera House, Palace Theatre and MEN Arena all close by.

The Midland is also only half a mile from Piccadilly railway station and the city’s tram system runs alongside the hotel, making it easy to enjoy the excellent shopping, top restaurants and vibrant nightlife.
