About
The Midland
The Midland is one of Manchester’s best-known hotels, occupying a landmark Grade II listed building on Peter Street in the heart of the city. Open since 1903, the hotel combines historic architecture with extensive modern event facilities and has a long association with significant meetings and occasions – including the famous first meeting between Charles Rolls and Henry Royce in 1904.
The hotel offers 11 flexible meeting and event rooms, with spaces ranging from smaller boardrooms and meeting suites through to the Alexandra Suite for conferences, exhibitions, awards dinners, receptions and large corporate events. The largest events can accommodate up to 700 guests, making The Midland suitable for both small business meetings and major city-centre events.
Alongside its event facilities, The Midland has 312 bedrooms, restaurants and bars, spa and leisure facilities, providing a strong residential option for conferences, corporate events and multi-day programmes.

Why Hire
The Midland combines the scale of a major conference hotel with the character of one of Manchester’s most recognisable historic buildings. Unlike a purpose-built conference centre, delegates and guests are hosted within a full-service luxury hotel while still having access to event spaces capable of accommodating hundreds of attendees.
Its location is particularly strong for national events. Manchester Central Convention Complex is immediately nearby, St Peter’s Square tram stop is outside the hotel and Manchester’s principal railway stations are within easy reach. This makes the hotel particularly suitable for conferences and events drawing attendees from across the UK.
The combination of a large principal event suite, numerous supporting rooms and 312 bedrooms also makes The Midland particularly effective for residential conferences and programmes requiring plenary, breakout, catering and accommodation within a single venue.
