We have an amazing connection to CO-OP Live Arena via car, approximately 15 minutes, or via tram, approximately 12 minutes. The 13 brand new swanky rooms are individually furnished, and come with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen Smart TVs with Netflix streaming, tea and coffee making facilities, heating controlled system, king-size beds and walk in showers. The hotel offers 24-hour hotel access, key card access and night porters are at your call if needed. Cooked breakfast is offered for no extra cost. Our traditional pub downstairs serves a gastropub menu and a list of your favourite drinks!

The Arena Black Lion is located on the edge of Manchester City Centre in Salford. We are a 10 minute walk away from the MEN Arena and 8-9 minute walk away from the Manchester Arndale Shopping Centre. Other attractions located within the same distance are the Manchester Cathedral, public transport including the Metrolink and Free shuttle bus are close by also. We are a small, affordable hotel just on the outskirts of the busy city centre. All of our room rates includes a free breakfast too!
