This is Trading News, Stock Exchange Hotel's monthly round-up of where to stay, where to eat and what is worth building an evening around in Manchester.
The evenings draw in, the city turns golden and a night away begins to feel less like an indulgence and more like the sensible thing to do. October is the month for long dinners, late checkouts and mornings that refuse to be rushed.
There is something about an autumn night in the city. Choose to arrive to champagne, dine beneath the dome at tender, sleep soundly in the heart of Manchester and take your time over breakfast or enjoy a 12pm checkout. Our dine and stay packages were made for exactly this.
Our Festive Traders Package runs Wednesdays to Saturdays from 25 November to 19 December or choose our Christmas Escape offers two nights over Christmas with a six-course Christmas lunch at tender. Both are now open for booking, and the best dates always go first.
As the leaves turn, so does the menu, with some updated dining choices at our restaurant. tender, led by Niall Keating, moves into autumn with the season's best British produce: still refined, still considered, just a little richer for the colder months.
Whether it is dinner beneath the dome, a long lunch, afternoon tea or a leisurely weekend breakfast, tender is always worth the trip.
Make the most of your stay with some of the finest the city has to offer this month.
