Autumn Business Travel in Manchester: Comfort and Space, All in One Place

No matter how perfectly you plan your work trips, everything suddenly loses its shine when your business accommodation is nothing more than a bed, a desk and four walls.

When you're spending a few days – or even a few weeks – in Manchester for work, where you stay can make a surprisingly big difference.

For autumn business trips, you need somewhere that helps you get things done, but also gives you space to relax. Somewhere central enough to make getting around easy, along with all the comforts that make a longer stay feel less like a business trip and more like everyday life.

That's where an aparthotel comes in.

Spacious apartments combine the convenience and service of a luxury hotel with the freedom of having your own living space. And for professionals staying in Manchester this autumn, even a little extra space can make the biggest change to your day.

The Perfect 5 to 9 After Your 9 to 5

Let's face it, working from a hotel room isn't always the dream.

Your laptop takes over the desk. Your suitcase becomes a makeshift wardrobe. Your bed is suddenly your office, dining area and somewhere to collapse at the end of the day.

After a few nights, the novelty can wear off. When you're away for work, having somewhere to properly switch off truly matters.

An aparthotel gives you room to create a better routine that suits your daily habits – apartments designed with distinct living spaces, fully equipped kitchens and comfortable bedrooms.

You're no longer fighting over whether to plug in the kettle or your laptop charger. Instead, you're gaining somewhere more functional and practical to work from, without making the whole apartment feel like an office cubicle.

Plus, with unlimited super-fast Wi-Fi, you can catch up on emails, join a video call (minus the frustrating stutter) and prepare for tomorrow's big presentation before closing the laptop, walking away from the office dramas and flopping down on the sofa into full zen mode.

Why Autumn is a Great Time for Business Travel in Manchester

Just because summer's ended doesn't mean the fun has! Autumn's a great time to experience what Manchester has to offer.

Outside the city's buzzing offices and conference venues, visit its exciting restaurants and cultural spaces, or find somewhere cosy to settle in to enjoy the cooler evenings after a busy day.

When you're based in the city centre, there's no need to spend your evening stuck in traffic, or waiting around for an Uber. CitySuites sits just off Deansgate, putting you within easy reach of Manchester's busy business districts and less than a three minute walk away from the city's main shopping areas and popular restaurants.

You're also a short distance away from Manchester's main transport links, including Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly railway stations, making business travel to the rest of the country incredibly easy.

So whether you're heading to a meeting, meeting a client for lunch, or squeezing in some exploration time in the city after work, you're never far from where you need to be.

From Meeting Room to Living Room

Imagine your next business trip. Would you want to spend all day just sitting in a stuffy conference room?

Maybe you need somewhere to bring a small team together, deliver a presentation to your stakeholders, or meet a client somewhere away from the office.

CitySuites offers flexible meeting spaces in Manchester designed for exactly that.

Our Conference Room and Meeting Room hire gives you space to accommodate up to 10 people, with a boardroom setup ideal for those productive brainstorming sessions.

Got a larger team? Our Private Dining Room comfortably fits up to 12 people, so you can play host for everything from client meetings to daytime get-togethers.

For corporate or networking events that pull out all the stops, the Embankment Lounge offers a standout area for up to 30 seated guests (or 50 standing). With stunning views over Manchester city centre, it's the perfect setting to help you and your guests truly feel like you're part of the action.

A Business Stay That Doesn't Feel Like One

It's your business trip. With aparthotels, you can make your routine work for you.

A decent breakfast. A proper workspace. A gym session before the workday begins. Somewhere comfortable to chill in the evening. Somewhere to make yourself a quick meal between meetings, rather than ordering room service for the third night running.

These are some of the little things that make an extended business trip feel more manageable and allow you to maintain your daily routine, rather than constantly force you to compromise it.

At CitySuites, every apartment comes with a fully fitted kitchen, giving you the freedom to cook for yourself whenever you want.

Need a workout to burn off some post-work energy? You'll get access to CitySuites' premium facilities, including the 18-metre indoor swimming pool, spa pool and 24-hour gym.

If cooking's not on your agenda, Embankment Kitchen is right on site, serving breakfast daily alongside its neighbourhood bar and dining experience. The Embankment Café is also open every day from 7am to 5pm, serving up fresh coffee, brunches, and lunches for a light snack.

Fancy a change of scenery? Embankment Café offers reservable co-working space in six-hour slots. We'll even bring you unlimited tea and coffee, lunch, and a freshly baked cake or pastry as part of the deal. Find out more about how to book our co-working spaces at Embankment Café.

Long-Stay Business Travel, Without the Hotel Room Feeling

The longer you stay, the more you'll feel the difference between a hotel room and your own private apartment in an aparthotel.

A couple of nights? You might not think twice.

A week? You'll probably appreciate having a kitchen.

A few weeks? Suddenly, those separate living and sleeping spaces, laundry facilities and somewhere to properly settle in becomes less of a luxury and more of a necessity.

That's why CitySuites works particularly well for professionals looking for long-stay apartments in Manchester.

Travelling for a project? Working away from home? Relocating offices temporarily? Extending a business trip?

No matter the "why", we give you the "where".

For stays of seven nights or more, CitySuites' offer includes an exclusive long-stay discount, complimentary super-fast WiFi and access to the spa pool and 24-hour gym.

Want to stay a little longer?

Our 28-night Stay Longer package is designed specifically for extended stays, so you can continue to enjoy everything CitySuites – and Manchester – has to offer, for as long as you like. After all, if your Manchester work trip goes on for longer, you might as well get comfortable while you're here.
