Two of Manchester’s finest and most well-known luxury hotels have featured in a prestigious travel platform’s top 30 hotels in the UK for 2020.
Hotel Brooklyn and Hotel Gotham are flying the flag for the city of Manchester after making the cut in independent luxury travel magazine / online platform Condé Nast Traveller’s top 30 list of hotels and accommodations in the country.
This top 30 list is compiled based on the opinions, experiences and ratings of the readers of Condé Nast Traveller.
Hotel Brooklyn came in at number 17 on the list, and Hotel Gotham took the 22nd spot.
Both hotels are impressive additions to the ever-developing Manchester skyline – offering a range of the finest boutique four and five star accommodation, as well as award-winning restaurants and bars – and help make the city a go-to destination within the UK, Europe and throughout the world.

Given their impressive architecture, they’ve also each doubled-up as filming locations for major Hollywood blockbusters and hit TV shows over the years as well.
Condé Nast Traveller – a subgroup of mass media company Condé Nast, which owns Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Wired, Architectural Digest (AD) and more – is widely-regarded as one of the most well-respected travel inspiration platforms, so this is a pretty big deal for the Manchester accommodations scene too.

Especially as Manchester has beat out many other leading UK cities, some of which – including the English capital of London – do not feature on the list at all.

Scotland’s prestigious five star resort The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Perth took the top spot on the list.
Cliveden House in Taplow, Waldorf Astoria Edinburgh – The Caledonian in Edinburgh, Luckham Park Hotel & Spa in Chippenham, and Soho Farmhouse in Chipping Norton each make up the rest of the top five spots.

Manchester was one of the only cities on the list to have multiple hotels within the same city / town featured on the list, along with the Scottish capital of Edinburgh, the much sought-after Cotswald village of Broadway, and the historic Somerset city of Bath.
Aside from the two Manchester hotels, the only other North West offering on the list is Linthwaite House in Windemere, Cumbria.

Emily Sergeant
A sustainable vintage fashion shop and kilo sale is popping up in a Greater Manchester town in a couple of days time.
And all the proceeds will go to a very-worthy charity.
Merely weeks after the UK’s largest vintage market descended on the iconic Victoria Baths in Manchester city centre, another sustainable fashion event will be popping up in one of the region’s popular shopping centres for the month.
British Heart Foundation will be hosting a brand-new pop-up shop and vintage kilo sale, where you can buy clothing and other goods at a fixed price per kilogram, in Stretford town centre.
Opening its doors this Saturday (5 April), the charity will be taking over the vacant unit that’s next door to JD Sports to provide the Stretford community with a charity shop filled with all sorts of vintage goods and thrifty finds.
Visitors will be able to sift through shelves stacked with major brands at bargain prices, making it the perfect way to sustainably stock up on wardrobe staples and revamp ready for spring.

All proceeds from the pop-up shop will go directly to the British Heart Foundation, helping to fund vital research into cures and treatments for heart and circulatory diseases, so whether you’re a fashion lover, an avid bargain hunter, or you simply just want to support a good cause, you know where to head on down to.
Running right through until 19 April, this venture is set to be a massively-valuable new addition to Stretford town centre.
The British Heart Foundation pop-up store will be open on Mondays – Saturdays from 10am-4pm, and on Sundays from 10am-3:30pm.

Jack Grealish dedicates first league goal in 16 months to late brother on anniversary of his death
Danny Jones
Manchester City star Jack Grealish held back the tears following his first Premier League goal in more than 16 months, but not in relief after breaking the duck, because it came on a very emotional day for him and his family.
The Man City and England midfielder opened the scoring in the Blues’ 2-0 win against Leicester City on Wednesday night, bringing an end to his goal drought after a total of 473 days.
But what made it even more special is that the game happened to coincide with the anniversary of his late brother Keelan’s death.
Speaking in his post-match interview after picking up the man of the match award, Grealish was in a noticeably quieter mood than his usual charismatic self before revealing that the day marked the 25th anniversary of his younger sibling’s death.

The 29-year-old went on to reveal that the date coincided with Keelan’s passing and acknowledged that it’s “hard on the family but [I’m] happy to score”.
His mum and dad, Karen and Kevin, were up in the stands; it doesn’t need explaining why scoring in that particular moment was so special for all of them.
Clearly stirred by addressing what was a bittersweet occasion, he signed off by adding, “To score and to win was brilliant.”
Keelan Daniel Grealish was just nine months old when he tragically passed away from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) back in 2000 – ‘Super Jack’ was just four at the time.
Paying tribute on social media after the game, the comments below his post were filled with love and support.
Besides the goal itself, the former Aston Villa star was keen to reiterate that he was never brought to the club to score bags of goals and “has a lot more to offer” than just hitting the back of the net.
Touching on his Grealish’s game and the tribute to Keelan during his post-match duties, manager Pep Guardiola went on to add: “Jack is an incredible human being; in terms of gestures and for the other people, he’s incredibly generous.
“I didn’t know that [it was the anniversary of his brother’s death]. I can’t imagine how tough it could be for mum, dad, sister, and all the family. It’s good on this day to remember him, I’m pretty sure they remember every single day.”
A lovely moment from a much-loved character around the Eithad Stadium as well as up and down the country. Rest in peace, Keelan.
