Fodor's Expert Review Abel Heywood

Ideal for those who want a true Mancunian feel to their accommodation, this well-priced boutique hotel and bar in the funky Northern Quarter was named for a local mayor, radical, and publisher. Cozy rooms in neutral colors, with exposed brickwork and photo murals of the surrounding cityscape. The pub (all leather banquettes, wooden floorboards, and industrial chic lights) serves classic British dishes with a Manchester twist, local cask ales, and an amazing range of gins.
