Deansgate hotel with Manchester-themed menu and boujee gym beauty stations aff
As summer approaches and Brits start to make their travel plans for short breaks and weekend getaways, there’s a Manchester hotel in the heart of the city perfect for whether you’re catching a gig or theatre show, hitting up the shops or just soaking up some culture.
There are plenty of nice things to be seen at YOTEL and its in-house restaurant MOTLEY, from Manc-inspired menus and cocktails, to Molly Mae’s favourite hair curlers. I took a trip to the city centre hotel to see what it has to offer tourists and locals alike - and this is what you can expect from a visit to YOTEL, Deansgate.
The rooms are spacious enough, complete with a hairdryer, fast WiFi and air conditioning, and I loved that there were plug sockets by both sides of the bed, because quite often they’re across the other side of the room - particularly in Travelodges - meaning if you have an alarm set but need to charge your phone, then you have to get out of bed to switch it off.
It looks brilliant, but for me personally, having to get up and get dressed before making myself a cup of tea a short walk from my room wasn’t as practical as being able to pop the kettle on in my room and clamber back into bed in my pyjamas with my mug. While I’ve no issues with small talk with strangers, the last thing I want to be doing first thing in the morning is queue for the single coffee machine.
They have a fantastic selection of draft beers from local breweries on tap, including their very own Motley Lager, as well as a superb choice of spritzers, wines and, of course, cocktails. I’m a big fan of the picky tea, and small plates are very much the sophisticated alternative, and again I loved how local it all felt.
Though it was the focaccia that stole the show for me, served up with a creamy beef butter. I mean, real butter on fancy bread is already dreamy, but the beef flavours were a seriously mouth-watering combination - I’d have happily sat and eaten it all day. As for the cocktails, the menu is fun and offers a lot of variety, with a separate menu for the Gin Terrace too. Each priced at £11, the7 are all inspired by Roku Gin. The Sakura Martini included Creme De Peche, lemon juice, sugar syrup with bitters and raspberries, finished off with a MOTLEY floating image which is fully edible.
The next-level boutique fitness studio is super sleek and modern. As you descend the stairs, there’s a wall of polaroid pictures of gym-goers celebrating their first time at the centre. If there were one thing I’d change about the gym, it would be nice to have a few pieces of equipment to use without the need to be part of a class. While I appreciate it’s a class-based gym, this can be quite daunting for some people who may just want to, for example, use the treadmill for half an hour.
