The Aparthotel concept has effectively been established in North America for many years, and its arrival in the UK seemed overdue. Certainly, Roomzz has been generating considerable interest, and a recent trip to Manchester provided the opportunity to check out their operation at the Roomzzz Manchester City Aparthotel where occupancy levels are already very high.

Not forgetting the practical details that matter in everyday life: for example, every floor has a laundry room for guest use.
Located in an Award winning Grade II listed building, Rooomzzz Manchester boasts high ceilings, long windows, soaring interior spaces, and kitchens equipped with Smeg appliances. This is the height of luxury, by design, and the 48 generously sized apartments are ‘finished with a subtle suggestion of the Orient inspired by the bustle of nearby Chinatown.’ And, as you’d expect with a luxury hotel, there’s every concession to contemporary style and comfort.
Situated close to the Manchester Central convention complex and the Northern Quarter, the fashion outlets, art galleries and quirky boutique shops are all within easy walking distance, and the Trafford Centre is less than 6 miles away.
With excellent restaurants within just a few paces, it’s ideal whether you’re visiting Manchester on business, experiencing the true spirit of what is now a lively and cultured city, or enjoying a sporting event at one of its stadia.
The Roomzzz Manchester City Aparthotel is easily reached from Manchester Piccadilly railway station, and has negotiated discounted, secure parking just round the corner.
The Roomzzz Royalty Club
Roomzzz Aparthotel has now tackled another bastion of guest happiness – rewarding loyalty – with the introduction of The Royalty Club.
This ‘chic card du jour’ caters for individual levels of Roomzzz loyalty: membership is free to all via a simple online application form, but there is also a status tag attached as with many aspirational members clubs: Silver level gives a real time 10% discount, Gold appropriately slices 15% off the bill, and Platinum removes 20%, with complimentary upgrade and late check-out.
The real news of course is that 10% off a super smart suite or apartment any day of the week is an instant crowd pleaser. And, whilst you begin with Silver status and 10%, Gold (25 room nights a year) and Platinum (75 room nights a year) are reached after a few more stays down the line. As Roomzzz expands its city coverage in the UK, it’s a safe bet that business users and members will multiply.
