It's only a short distance from the city center, yet the picturesque location of the Copthorne Hotel Manchester, overlooking the waterfront, seems a world away. The Metrolink tram stop is opposite the hotel, the motorways and main railway station are within easy reach, whilst it's just 20 minutes to the airport. This excellent, modern, 4-star hotel on the waterfront at Salford Quays also offers extensive complimentary guest parking. Nearby you'll find jogging routes, a sports center and Manchester United Football Club. Please note that as of the 01 January 2008, the hotel will no longer have designated smoking bedrooms.
