Availability varies from hotel to hotel, depending on its location, popularity, and time of the year. We recommend booking your conference venue at least three months in advance, but if your event is large, you should consider hiring it even up to a year prior. Conferences that require a lot of accommodation for the delegates need to be booked as soon as possible to ensure the benefits of organising them at a hotel. You don’t want to deny a room to some of your guests because you hadn’t booked early enough!
Plenty of hotels with conference facilities are located in the city centre, especially close to the city’s major railway station Manchester Piccadilly. Areas such as Castlefield and Deansgate also offer some great venues with modern equipment and on-site accommodation. If you aren’t focused on a central location, taking your conference to a hotel in Trafford is a great idea. In case some of your delegates are flying in, there’s some great conference hotels available for hire near Manchester Airport.
Your Guide to Hiring Conference Hotels in Manchester
As one of the largest cities in the north of the UK, Manchester plays host to a number of different conferences across the year and is a diverse hive of business and leisure. This has in turn brought about a huge demand for hotel conference venues. Here are some of the top things to consider when hiring your next venue there:
- Accommodation - Much of the motivation behind choosing a conference venue with accommodation is to give your attendees an easy place to stay the night. This makes it vitally important to check whether your potential conference venue has the availability and capacity to accommodate all of your guests in the same space. In a busy city such as Manchester, demand is high, so be sure to look into this early so not to miss out.
- Location - With Manchester welcoming conference guests from all over the UK and Europe, it’s vitally important that the space you choose is also well-located. Make sure there are convenient transport links and all delegates can commute to the destination without trouble. If anyone will be driving to the hotel, check if there is a car park nearby, preferably at the venue.
- Services and extras - Many hotels will offer standard and premium services with optional extras. Before booking, it’s important to understand what is included in your conference package and whether any extra services you’d like are up to standard and fit within your budget. Bear in mind that technology plays an increasingly important role in modern conferences, so be sure to check that your conference venue has access to whatever you will need - as well as, most importantly, good and free WiFi.
- Facilities – Choose a hotel that has all of the components that you will need. Examples: audiovisual equipment, stages, podium, microphones, etc. By choosing a venue that includes these things, you will save a lot of money having to rent or buy them elsewhere.
- Compare venues and services – We’ve done our best to make it easy for you, nonetheless, don’t forget to compare your top venue choices before booking your event. Click on each venue that seems like a good fit and weigh your options by considering their differences, pros and cons. A lot of smaller hotel meeting rooms may fit the style you want but can’t provide other needs like larger hotels are able to.
- Staffing – Check with the hotel and make sure that they will have sufficient staff on site during your event. The last thing you want is to have to move your own chairs when you have other important matters on your mind.
