After sitting unoccupied for several years, then-English hotel chain Principal Hotels repurposed the building as the Palace Hotel in 1996. The Manchester-based insurance company used the building as its headquarters until 1987. The building, originally completed in 1895 and expanded in 19, housed the Refuge Assurance Company. Fortunately, I found no line at the check-in desk, and headed towards my room within a few minutes.Ī few words about the history of the hotel before getting started with the review. Manchester Airport, meanwhile, is 15-30 minutes by car, or 25 minutes by train.ĭate of stay: Sunday, FebruCheck-In and Common AreasĪfter an…unexpected…3 1/2 hour drive from London to complete my journey, I sure was ready to head straight to my room. While adjacent to the Manchester Oxford Road train/bus station, it’s about a 10 minute walk to Manchester Piccadilly. It’s 10 minutes or less from the Science and Industry Museum and the University of Manchester, and about 15 minutes to Manchester Cathedral.
The hotel is an easy walk from most of central Manchester’s main attractions.
