Mixing up its live music venues with the independent bars of the Northern Quarter and all the draws of The Village, where people play out until breakfast time, Manchester has a reputation for being a 24-hour party city.
Yet it knows how to loosen up as well as let loose. The Capital of the North and its surrounds are home to a number of excellent spa hotels where guests can recharge. Visitors to Manchester can count on pamper zones that take over entire hotel floors, ultra-luxe spa areas where champagne is as easy to access as water and – just outside of the city centre – one of the largest garden spas in the UK.
