About
Dakota Manchester
Dakota Manchester is a luxury city-centre hotel on Ducie Street, a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station. Known for its dark, contemporary interiors and design-led approach, the hotel offers a collection of intimate meeting, private dining and social event spaces rather than large-scale conference facilities.
Spaces range from an executive Boardroom and private dining rooms to the Champagne Room and the hotel's covered Terrace, which provides the largest event capacity for up to 80 guests. The combination of accommodation, Dakota Grill, stylish event spaces and a central location makes it particularly suited to executive meetings, private dinners, client entertainment and smaller corporate events.

Why Hire
Dakota Manchester is particularly suited to smaller events where design, service and food are more important than large conference capacities. Its executive meeting rooms and private dining spaces work well for board meetings, client entertainment and corporate dinners, while the covered Terrace extends the offering to receptions and social events for up to 80 guests.
Its location just minutes from Manchester Piccadilly also makes it very accessible for guests travelling into the city, while the combination of luxury accommodation, Dakota Grill and distinctive interiors gives events a noticeably different feel from a conventional corporate hotel.
