Staying Cool Apartments

If you love style and design and are independently-minded, then you'll love award-winning Stayingcool; where hip hotel meets boutique serviced apartment.

We've teamed up with Urban Splash to bring you some of the best apartments in Manchester. Each is consistently stylish yet different, with a major emphasis on comfort (with the best beds, sofas and chairs) design (the hottest designer, known and unknown) and technology (Wi-Fi, Apple Macs and espresso makers).

If you’re looking for more space and flexibility than a hotel room and more style and originality than your average serviced apartment, then look no further. Each of our apartments is individually designed, superbly located and offers a range of services that is more akin to those you would find in a boutique hotel.

Stayingcool’s 4 and 5-star apartments provide everything you would expect in a boutique style hotel and more.

You have a fully equipped kitchen. You can pre-order breakfasts (organic full English or continental) and there is room service from 18:00h. There is a grocery store on site.

Manchester is one of the most vibrant city's in Europe and has a lot to shout about these days. By day, a stroll around reveals architectural grandeur around every corner, whether it's a modern gem (Libeskind's Imperial War Museum North, URBIS or The Lowry) or old-style Victorian splendour. Big retail names like Selfridges and Harvey Nichols have recently opened up in the city and its bar and restaurant scene has transformed Manchester into a truly European city.

In less than 15 minutes on foot you're right in the heart of the city centre and only minutes from the conference quarter (GMEX and MICC). En route you'll take in some of the city's most interesting boutique shops, plus plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes.

Apartments are a 15 minute drive from Manchester International Airport, 10 minutes from the M60 and 5 minutes from the train station.
