DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport
DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport is the former Hilton on Outwood Lane: 230 rooms within the airport complex, about a 10-minute walk from Terminals 2 and 3, with the Lavelle Restaurant and Bar and the brand’s warm cookie at check-in. It is the practical middle option at MAN: closer to the doors than the shuttle hotels, cheaper than the walkway-linked flagship, and well suited to park-and-fly stays.
Guest Rooms
The 230 rooms come with laptop-friendly workspaces, 24-hour room service and free Wi-Fi, in king, twin and family layouts.
Standard room amenities include:
- Coffee and tea-making facilities
- Free Wi-Fi
- Hair dryer
- Iron and ironing board
- Flat-screen TV
- 24-hour room service
Breakfast and Dining
Lavelle Restaurant lays out a large breakfast buffet with hot and cold items and an omelette station where you choose the fillings. In the evening the same kitchen serves dinner, and the Lavelle Bar & Lounge mixes cocktails and pours local gin and craft beer alongside an all-day menu.
Facilities and Services
A fitness centre, meeting rooms, luggage storage and park-and-fly packages with on-site parking cover the practical side, and the front desk is staffed 24 hours. The welcome cookie remains the signature touch.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is on Outwood Lane within the airport complex, sharing the lane with the Clayton. Terminals 2 and 3 are about 10 minutes away on foot, and a limited paid shuttle (around £2.50 each way) runs at set times on a first-come, first-served basis. Trains from the airport station reach Manchester Piccadilly in around 13 to 18 minutes, and the M56 is minutes away by car.
Nearby Alternatives
The Clayton Hotel next door swaps the walk for a free 24-hour shuttle, and the Crowne Plaza offers freshly refurbished rooms a five-minute walk from Terminal 3.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I walk from the DoubleTree to the terminals?
Yes. The hotel is on Outwood Lane within the airport complex, about a 10-minute walk from Terminals 2 and 3; allow a little more with heavy luggage. A small paid shuttle also runs at set times; check the current schedule with the hotel.
Is this the former Hilton Manchester Airport?
Yes. The property traded for years as the Hilton Manchester Airport before becoming a DoubleTree by Hilton, which is why some booking platforms still list it under its old address details. It is the same building on Outwood Lane.
What is the warm cookie about?
Every DoubleTree welcomes guests with a warm chocolate-chip cookie at check-in, and the Manchester Airport hotel keeps the tradition. It pairs well with a pre-flight night in.
