[2025 Manchester Stay] Travel Guide for Hilton Manchester Deansgate (Updated Mar)

For any football fan like me, the city of Manchester has always been a pilgrimage destination. It is the birthplace of British football and even more so, the birthplace of modern football. It was only when I arrived in Manchester that I realized there's more to this city than just football. Transportation: It's about a 50-minute flight directly from London to Manchester, and I've heard the train is also very convenient, but we chose the less troublesome plane due to our poor language skills. City Transport: We chose Uber for airport transfers. Taxis are really cheap, and you can get by with less than 200. Since we were visiting two stadiums and the attractions were quite scattered, we mostly traveled by taxi. Hotel: We booked the Hilton Manchester Deansgate Hotel. The location of the hotel is great, not too far from the University of Manchester and the stadiums. We stayed in Manchester for two days and one night. We arrived late at night and went straight to sleep, and early the next morning we took a taxi to the Etihad Stadium, the home ground of Manchester City. Both City and United offer timed entry tickets with guided tours, so make sure to buy your tickets and arrange your time in advance. We booked the first tour at 10:00, which lasted about an hour. The tour starts from the upper part of the stadium and goes inside, including the dressing room, interview area, press conference hall, and then into the stadium itself. You can even take a photo with AI Guardiola at City. We managed to buy jerseys of Haaland and the English internet sensation Kelly at City, which was satisfying. After visiting the Etihad, we went to the John Rylands Library. The photography there is truly amazing, and although it's not as big as the Trinity College Library, the photos turned out great. After leaving the library, we followed Manager Jiao and walked for 20 minutes to a popular restaurant, waited a long time to get a seat, and the taste was just so-so. In the afternoon, we went to Old Trafford, the home ground of Manchester United. There were noticeably more people outside the stadium than at City's ground, and even the fan shop had a queue. Since we were there, we had to buy a Casemiro jersey and then went on the stadium tour. The United stadium tour was very crowded, and they wouldn't let you fall behind or leave the group. It also lasted about an hour, and the guide was very detailed. Old Trafford really fits the style of a top club, even if their recent results have been disappointing. A football fan's day is not complete without visiting the two stadiums. We also strolled around the University of Manchester campus. The campus was quiet and gentle under the sunshine, making us fall in love with this city. Finally, I would like to ask you all, is the sky of Manchester blue or red?

Highly recommend a trip to Cloud 23 in Manchester UK. We booked the Wellbeing Afternoon Tea on New Years Day and it was a great experience! Before going up to the restaurant we enjoyed 2 hours in the Hilton’s leisure facilities. The pool was great, perfect size for a good swim and not too deep. There was a good size jacuzzi too plus a sauna and steam room. The changing rooms were very basic and a little small but did the job. Towels, robes and slippers were included in our experience. After our spa visit, we made our way up in the dedicated elevator to the 23rd floor. As we stepped out the views were amazing! The staff showed us straight to our table and get us some drinks. Included in the package was unlimited tea/coffee or hot chocolate (and there was a great selection) a cocktail (again a great selection of both alcoholic and nonalcoholic options) and a beautiful selection of food, beautifully presented. The staff were so helpful throughout and the food was faultless! The experience cost us £45 each which was great value, especially as one cocktail alone in the restaurant is normal £17! Would highly recommend this little treat! #luxuryhotel #bucketlist #afternoontea #cloud23 #manchesterfood #2023travelwish #tripblazers #mytripvlog
