Housed in a Grade II-listed former cotton warehouse, Native effortlessly merges the city’s industrial heritage with contemporary design and comfort. Located on Ducie Street, just two minutes from Piccadilly Station, this 134-room aparthotel is a stone’s throw from the Northern Quarter and Ancoats. Its grand atrium, with exposed red brick, vaulted ceilings, and steel columns, is a striking nod to Victorian-era architecture.
The apartments range from sleek studios to spacious two-bedroom penthouses, all with fully equipped kitchenettes, super king-sized beds, and elegant Conran furnishings. Warm tones of taupe, peacock blue, and gold are paired with parquet flooring and exposed brick for a sophisticated yet homely feel. Even entry-level rooms boast Bramley bath products, smart TVs, and Blossom carbon-neutral coffee.
Downstairs, the Ducie Street Warehouse acts as a social hub, offering a restaurant, lounge, bar, and outdoor terrace. Foodies can savour everything from seasonal brunches to indulgent roasts and monthly Disco Brunches featuring live DJs. A diverse menu caters to all palates, including small plates, pinsas, and hearty mains like jackfruit tacos or fish and chips.
Wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the award-winning Blok gym, which offers yoga, barre, and boxing classes at discounted rates for guests. The 36-seat Mini Cini screens family-friendly films during school holidays and hosts regular cultural events, ensuring there’s always something to entertain. For pet owners, Native is famously dog-friendly, even showcasing dog-themed films weekly.
Native isn’t just a place to stay; it’s an experience. With co-working spaces, family-friendly amenities, and sustainable practices throughout, this is the ideal base for exploring Manchester’s past, present, and future. Whether lounging in your lofty apartment or enjoying a cocktail on the sunny terrace, you’ll feel perfectly at home.
