The Midland

The Midland is a Grade II listed hotel in Manchester city centre, combining historic character with accommodation, dining, wellness and event facilities. Its setting suits both leisure stays and business visits, with 312 bedrooms and suites arranged within a landmark building known for its timeless style.

Food and drink are central to the experience. Adam Reid at The French presents a formal dining option in one of the hotel’s established restaurant spaces, with a focus on Northern cuisine. Mount Street Dining Room & Bar offers elevated British cooking in a more relaxed setting, alongside creatively made cocktails. The hotel also includes The Tea Room and a Lounge and Champagne Bar, giving guests several options for daytime refreshments, afternoon tea or drinks.

The dining spaces cover a range of occasions, from date nights and family gatherings to private dining and more formal celebrations. Their character leans towards classic hotel elegance rather than a casual neighbourhood café, making The Midland suitable for visitors seeking a polished city-centre setting for a meal or drink.

Rena Spa provides a separate wellness setting within the hotel, with a thermal suite, treatments, spa day packages and gym facilities. It offers options for guests looking for relaxation alongside accommodation, as well as for visitors booking a standalone treatment or spa visit.

The Midland also caters for conferences, meetings, weddings, banqueting and other private events. Its event facilities include 11 meeting rooms and spaces for gatherings of up to 700 guests, with private dining available for selected occasions. The combination of hotel rooms, restaurants, spa facilities and flexible event areas makes it suited to business functions, celebrations and extended city-centre stays.

With its historic architecture, several distinct food and drink venues, and facilities for both overnight and day visits, The Midland works as a broad hospitality destination rather than a single restaurant. It is particularly suited to travellers wanting accommodation close to central attractions, diners looking for British or Northern-inspired cooking, and groups planning meetings, celebrations or private events.
