“Impeccably tasteful, the Manchester boutique hotel has only 14 rooms with an equally stylish sister hotel just down the road.”
Didsbury House is a hip boutique hotel in Manchester. The brilliant film 24 Hour Party People reminded us all that Manchester is the capital of bad behavior. But Manchester's city center can be a bit dodgy and rough late at night, so post-clubbing, it's best to bolt for the leafy suburb of Didsbury with knowing haste. There you can plunk your substance-addled body within the calm confines of the aforementioned Didsbury House Hotel, the urbane alternative to England's painfully grannyish coach house B&Bs.
The facilities
A converted 19th Century villa turned boutique hotel, the Didsbury House artfully balances the past and present, with the original carved-wood staircase, stained-glass windows and ornate ceilings mixing gracefully with a new pewter bar and a courtyard done up in bamboo and steel accents.
The rooms
The 26 rooms at this boutique hotel are all different, and contemporary without resorting to prosaic minimalism. Rooms have cable TV and Internet access.
