Each comes with a fully-equipped kitchen (including espresso machine), an extra-comfy Hypnos bed, and access to the on-site fitness suite.

Velvet is perhaps the most popular luxury gay-friendly hotel in Manchester, located directly on Canal Street a few steps away from several gay bars. Each room features unique, dramatic design – think velvet curtains, four-poster beds, and baroque patterned wallpaper. The beds are especially plush, perfect for resting after a long night out on Canal Street. Their standard King Rooms are plenty luxurious, but we recommend going for a Balcony Room or a Penthouse Suite if you can. The Velvet Brasserie serves up delicious food and cocktails, and the bar is a cool, fashionable place to start your night out – if the weather is right, try to grab a spot on the canalside terrace. Velvet Hotel is one of the most booked gay-friendly hotels in Manchester.

There is a very good gym (in addition to yoga mats in every room), a trendy restaurant with beautiful industrial design, and two cocktail bars. Even better, Kimpton Clocktower is located just a 5-minute walk from the Gay Village, making it a fantastic option for a luxury gay getaway.
