A beautiful hotel in an unbelievable building. The staff are incredible. Thank you.

Gerard United Kingdom

One of the coolest and beautiful hotels I've ever stayed in! Completely unique architecture with a great history. The grand entrance with glass ceiling and large architectural details make it hard not to look up in awe. Its just awesome. The staff ( especially Kate!!!!) were kind, and helpful and friendly. I wanted to have a beer with Kate- she was genuinely a terrific person. Manchester is a great town and my daughter and I enjoyed every minute. Would love to go back.

  • Does the Principal have parking? If not, where is the nearest and are there any reductions if you have a room booked with them. Thanks
    Although we don't have any car park onsite, there are some car parks close to the hotel. We do offer a discounted rate for the NCP Car Park on Oxford Street. It will cost you £20.00 per 24 hours, which you can pay for upon check-out directly with Front Desk. The postcode of the car park is M1 5EJ on Oxford Street, and within a five minute walk to our hotel. Please note that the car park above is a suggestion based on proximity to the hotel. The car park is not part of The Principal Manchester and the hotel is not liable for any loss or damage should it occur.
