Historic city centre hotel established in 1815

History & Character

Built at the foot of Manchester Cathedral in 1815, the Mitre Hotel is one of the oldest hotels in Manchester city centre. The grand exterior has retained its period charm, while the bar and guest areas have been modernised. The hotel survived significant events over its 80-year history and offers a unique vintage vibe combined with modern comfort.

Rooms

The hotel offers 39 uniquely designed rooms catering to various preferences, including family rooms that accommodate larger groups. Most rooms have views of Manchester Cathedral, the Corn Exchange, Selfridges or Sinclairs Oyster Bar. Guests should note there is no lift and no ground floor rooms, with steep stairs to upper floors.

Dining

The on-site Mitre Bar & Grill serves seasonal gastro pub dishes. The bar offers 2-for-1 cocktail offers every day. Complimentary breakfast is included when booked directly through the hotel.

Location

The hotel is placed next to Victoria Rail Station, with the AO Arena a 5-minute walk away. The Arndale Shopping Centre is a 4-minute walk, and Shudehill tram station provides easy journeys to Old Trafford and The Etihad Stadium. Manchester Cathedral is directly outside, and the Printworks nightlife district is across the square.

Family & Practicalities

Family rooms are available and the hotel offers kids' meals from the restaurant. There is no on-site parking, but a discount code for a nearby QPark (5-minute walk) is provided upon request. The front desk is open 24/7 and guests can use the luggage storage service.

Highlights

History: One of Manchester's oldest hotels, opened in 1815

Rooms: 39 uniquely designed rooms with cathedral views

Dining: Mitre Bar & Grill with 2-for-1 cocktails daily

Location: Next to Victoria Station, 5 min from AO Arena

Family: Family rooms and kids' meals available

Booking: Complimentary breakfast when booked directly

“The location opposite the cathedral is a strong draw, especially combined with the retained period features in the rooms, like the sash windows. It strikes me as a good choice for those needing easy access to the AO Arena, and I like the idea of a nightcap downstairs after a long day. Overall, it seems a solid, centrally-located base.”

Acceptable Stay Near the Arndale

helpful staff convenient location comfortable bed small room cluttered space non-working tv
The location proved very convenient. It was a short walk to the AO arena. The reception staff accommodated us by changing our room. The replacement room suited my needs much better.
The room felt rather small. There was an ironing board and fan, though the space felt cluttered. The TV was not working upon arrival. No one advised us about this beforehand.
