What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Moxy Manchester City occupies the site of what was once a hat factory in the city-center Spinningsfield district, and while it retains a portion of the factory’s well-worn brick façade, it is for the most part a new build.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Spinningfields surrounds the hotel with lively rooftop bars, and the historic Opera House is just around the corner.
The rooms
Compact bedrooms make clever use of tight layouts, with exposed ceilings and cushions printed with cheeky hat-themed slogans.
Bar Moxy
A breakfast buffet fills the tiled counter each morning, and hand-stretched sourdough pizzas bake around the clock.
At the table
A grab-and-go fridge stays stocked day and night with canned craft cocktails, beers, and savoury snacks.
How it began
This corner of Atkinson Street was once known as Cupid's Alley, where 18th-century hatmakers ran their workshops.
