5. King Street Townhouse

A hotel right in the city centre, King Street Townhouse has a charming (but small!) rooftop pool. It gets pretty cold in Manchester during winter, so save this one for the summer months.

The sort of pub you’d expect to see in the English countryside, but this unique spot has been lifted (quite literally) into a location right beside the shops in the centre of town. You’ll find them here.
