Business and Leisure from Manchester Serviced Apartments-00-3728

Companies such as the Co-operative Group, Avecia, B3 Cable Solutions and JJB Sports all have their UK headquarters in Manchester and many companies are now choosing to put their employees in Manchester serviced apartments when visiting the city on business.

The heart of Manchester's business district is in the centre of the city close to Piccadilly, specifically around Mosley Street, Deansgate and King Street. It's continuing to expand further into Deansgate and many new developments are currently under construction to increase office space in the area. Many of the serviced apartments in Manchester have business facilities to accommodate the corporate traveller.

Outside of work hours, Manchester is a great city to explore with a whole host of things to entertain. Some of the best restaurants in the UK are in Manchester, such as Vermillion or Michael Caines at Abode, if you don't want to cook in your Manchester serviced apartment.

Manchester is also known for its many shopping centres. The Trafford Centre is one of the largest in the country with nearly 300 stores and attracts over 30 million visitors a year. There is also the Triangle Centre, another popular shopping centre in central Manchester which is located opposite Selfridges.

For those who enjoy cultural pursuits in their spare time, Manchester has a plethora of museums, galleries and attractions which even the most discerning visitor staying in a Manchester serviced apartment would be enthralled by. Through until the end of January there is a major exhibition at the Museum of Museums entitled 'Tutankhamun: His tomb and his treasures'.

The city's architecture is another one of its high points. The John Rylands library and Manchester Town Hall were both built in a gothic Victorian style and the latter has even been used as a double for Westminster in several television series.

The MEN Arena is Europe's largest indoor arena and often plays host to some of the biggest stars in music today such as Rihanna, Kings of Leon and Lady Gaga.

Salford Quays is one of the most popular up and coming areas in the city and there are a range of newly opened Manchester serviced apartments there. Its notoriety increased after the BBC announced that several major departments will be moved to Salford Quays a move which is due to be completed this year. The area also boasts the Lowry Project, a unique building which has been described as Manchester's answer to the Sydney Opera House.
