Embodying a unique mix of Manchester energy and Cheshire charm, the Marriott Airport Hotel is a modern, low-rise property with a red brick exterior. The curving driveway leads up to a large, covered entrance and there’s an attractive courtyard garden with cherry trees. The 215 guestrooms feature simple cream décor, which contrasts pleasingly with the patterned bed linen, red-upholstered armchairs and scatter cushions, carpeted floors and modern dark-wood furnishings. All are clean and well maintained, as are the en suite bathrooms. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the Mendelssohn’s Restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy modern International cuisine in a relaxed environment. More informal, the Player’s Restaurant serves Continental dishes in vibrant surroundings for lunch and dinner. And then there’s the Lobby Bar, where you can pick up a fresh Costa Coffee or light meals throughout the day. Guests can also indulge in the hotel’s Leisure Club and Four Seasons Spa, which offers massages, waxing, facials and more.
