Autumn in the City: Cosy Cafés, Leafy Walks & Seasonal Activities in Manchester

16/09/2025

Your Perfect Autumn Stay at CitySuites

As autumn sweeps through Manchester, the city takes on a golden glow, the perfect backdrop for a getaway that blends culture, comfort, and convenience. At CitySuites, you're right at the heart of it all. Our luxury aparthotels at the top of Deansgate offer more than a place to stay – they’re your base for exploring the season in style.

Cosy cafés and seasonal treats

Start the day with a freshly brewed coffee and flaky pastry at Embankment Café Co., our cosy on-site café. Its relaxed atmosphere and classic menu make it just as inviting for a slow weekend morning as it is for a chatty midweek brunch to refuel ahead of a day of exploring. Want to venture out? Manchester’s independent café and restaurant scene is on your doorstep, serving up everything from artisan bakes to pumpkin-spiced treats that capture the season.

Leafy Walks in and Around Manchester

Autumn is the perfect excuse to get outside. Just a short stroll from CitySuites, Sackville Gardens offers a quiet moment among the falling leaves and the iconic Alan Turing memorial.

If you’re in the mood for a bigger adventure, head to Heaton Park – one of the largest municipal parks in Europe – where wide open spaces, lakes, and tree-lined avenues glow in shades of amber and gold. Prefer something more serene? Fletcher Moss Botanical Garden is ideal for a leisurely walk, featuring winding paths, ornamental gardens, and an abundance of photo-worthy autumn scenery.

Culture & Entertainment to Warm Your Evenings

As the nights draw in, Manchester’s theatres, galleries, and music venues come to life. From Dancing at Lughnasa at the Royal Exchange to concerts at Aviva Studios and exhibitions at The Lowry, there’s no shortage of ways to spend an autumn evening. And the best part? They’re all just a short walk or tram ride away.

Relaxation and Indulgence Right Where You Stay

After a day of exploring, retreat to the comfort of your apartment. Take a dip in the pool, relax in the jacuzzi, or recharge in the steam room before wrapping up in your CitySuites robe for a quiet night in. With generous living spaces, fully equipped kitchens, and thoughtful touches, it’s easy to make yourself at home.

Autumn Stays Made Simple

Staying at CitySuites brings notable perks. Located in Manchester’s city centre, you’re just moments from Victoria Station, Deansgate, Manchester Cathedral, and the shopping centres.
