One of the fastest-growing hotel groups in Europe, Leonardo Hotels operates 60 properties across the UK and Ireland, each offering a distinctive guest experience. Renowned for prime city-centre locations, welcoming and dedicated teams, and comfortable, stylish bedrooms, Leonardo continues to strengthen its presence in key destinations.
In Manchester, Leonardo is proud to operate four city-centre hotels, offering a combined total of 912 bedrooms. This portfolio includes Leonardo Manchester Piccadilly and Leonardo Manchester Central, alongside two Leonardo Limited Edition properties: the newly rebranded The Rex (formerly Hotel Gotham) and the iconic Midland Hotel.
Leonardo Manchester Central enjoys a prime position next to Manchester Central Convention Complex and Bridgewater Hall, just moments from St Peter’s Square. Leonardo Manchester Piccadilly is ideally located within walking distance of Piccadilly Station and close to Co-op Live and the Etihad Campus, making both hotels perfectly placed for business and leisure travellers alike.
The Midland Hotel opened its doors in 1903 originally as a railway hotel and over the past 120 years has hosted everyone from rock stars and politicians to royalty. From the 312 sumptuous bedrooms to our award-winning food and drink, idyllic spa and impressive event spaces, every part of The Midland experience transcends the ordinary.
The Rex formerly Hotel Gotham is a destination of modern indulgence and refined escape. A place designed for those who expect more, seek more, and settle for nothing less than exceptional. Elevated, reimagined, and ready to be discovered.
