Wagstaff Manchester on Kingsgate Yard at dusk

Wagstaff Manchester

Our first hotel has thirty-eight rooms in a converted cotton warehouse on Kingsgate Yard, five minutes' walk from Piccadilly. It opened in 2019, and most of what we now do at every Wagstaff was worked out here first.

Here the dog is expected. Rooms are laid out around a proper bed for them, the kitchen cooks for them, and there is somewhere good for them to spend the day while you're out in the city.

Rooms & suites

Thirty-eight rooms, every one of them for two people and a dog

Each room has a dog bed built to the size of your dog, raised bowls and a hook for the lead by the door. The suites have a boot room with a warm shower for the walk home on a wet day.

Your dog

The Day Club

Behind the house is a walled garden where dogs spend the day with our handlers in small groups, so you can go to the gallery, the match or a long lunch. We send a photograph at noon.

Eat & drink

Bramble

Our restaurant cooks seasonal food from the North West, and every table has room underneath for a dog. There's a short menu for them too, written with a veterinary nutritionist and cooked in the same kitchen.
