I stayed at this hotel after getting married and I can honestly say it was one of my most favourable hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Service was impeccable. I have genuinely never experienced it like that before. I had a wonderful experience with the valet service also for my car. The food, incredible. I am 100% going to be staying here again when in Manchester and recommending it to all of my friends and family. The atmosphere, the vibe, was just exactly to my liking. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding night hotel.

In Manchester for the weekend and spent a Friday & Saturday evening at the Dakota. Lets be clear, pricewise this place isn't for the faint hearted, however, the team at the hotel deliver on every level. Everything was excellent from the moment we pulled up to the moment we got in the car to leave.The welcome on arrival, the check in, the room, the service in the bar and restaurant and every single member of the team we encountered were all first class, looking forward to our next visit. Thank you all for a lovely weekend.
