    The manager there made me feel very at home, was very accessible and friendly. LGBTQ+. Has the loveliest little dog. I'll be staying again. My room was surprisingly quiet considering a bar with music below. Gave me a fan when it was hot too.

The New Union Hotel dates back to 1865. The stained glass windows depict countries in the Commonwealth giving the bar it's original name 'The Union'. The rooms are above the bar and nightclub - perfect for those who want to party!
I love the museums, shops and restaurants that are a short walk away and the Palace theatre is only round the corner.
Just on the edge of the gay village in Manchester city centre, the venue is 4 minutes walk to Manchester coach station, 6 minutes walk to Oxford Road railway station and 9 minutes walk to Piccadilly railway station.
