Last
night the picturesque Mitre Hotel opened its doors for
a group of Manchester bloggers. The 300-year-old building, nestled
between Harvey Nicks and Manchester Cathedral, is undergoing a
complete refit.
General
Manager Finn gave us a tour of the 24-hour hotel. The clinical white
has been replaced with an oak and gold theme, with vintage
photographs of key city landmarks reframed and displayed on the
different floors. New carpets, new bathrooms and a new 8-room studio
apartment on the top floor are all in the pipeline.
If
you're interested in staying, you might want to check what's
happening in the city first. Due to its proximity to the Manchester Arena, the prices can fluctuate, like many other hotels. If a popular
act is on, you could be looking at £250 for the night. Get yourself
a late on a quiet night, and you might only pay £50. Next week in
Manchester Pride festival, so expect a price hike.
After
the tour, we were seated for some good pub grub. We got to choose
from the menu, so I started with the spiced halloumi fries and
mayonnaise. I followed it with more spice- shashlyk kebabs, to be
specific- and rounded off (and I felt very round by the end of it)
with a chocolate fudge brownie. All delicious. Hat-tip goes to chef
Steve.
A
great evening organised by Go PR and Events.
