Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester Airport
Radisson Blu Hotel Manchester Airport is the classic choice for a night at MAN: the only hotel with its own entrance on the Skylink, the covered walkway with moving walkways that links all terminals and the train, tram and coach interchange known as The Station. You can roll a suitcase from check-in to reception in about five to ten minutes without stepping outside, which matters in Manchester weather. With 360 rooms, the Collage Restaurant and the only hotel pool on the airport site, it is the full-service flagship of the airport.
Guest Rooms
The 360 rooms and suites range from Standard Rooms through Premium Rooms to Business Class Rooms and Suites, in a calm, modern Scandinavian style. Executive Lounge access is available with the higher categories, with tea, coffee and soft drinks through the day and canapés and light snacks between 5:00 pm and 7:30 pm.
Standard room amenities include:
- Coffee and tea-making facilities
- Free Wi-Fi
- Hair dryer
- Iron and ironing board
- Satellite TV
- 24-hour room service
Breakfast and Dining
The Collage Restaurant serves an extensive breakfast buffet of hot and cold international items, complete with a breakfast cocktail bar for a Bloody Mary or Buck’s Fizz before a holiday flight. Later in the day it turns into a British brasserie with chargrilled steaks, burgers, seafood and salads; a pizza menu runs from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. The Little M bar covers drinks and light bites from mid-morning until late.
Facilities and Services
The PACE Health Club is the standout facility: an indoor heated pool, a well-equipped gym, and sauna and steam rooms. The hotel also offers meeting and event spaces, 24-hour room service and paid on-site parking, and the reception desk is staffed around the clock.
Location and Transportation
The hotel stands on Chicago Avenue at the heart of the airport complex, directly on the Skylink walkway. The Station, with trains to Manchester Piccadilly in around 13 to 18 minutes, Metrolink trams and National Express coaches, is a few minutes along the same covered route. Manchester city centre is about a 20-minute drive, and the M56 motorway is minutes away.
Nearby Alternatives
The new TRIBE Manchester Airport beside The Station offers 412 modern rooms at a lower price point, and the Clayton Hotel runs a free 24-hour shuttle if a covered walk is not essential.
