A luxury aparthotel that has famously been home to Manchester City stars and the team's manager Pep Guardiola has scooped a top national tourism award. City Suites on Chapel Street has been named among a list of top 100 accommodation providers across England for offering the "warmest of welcomes".

The apartment building sits on the Salford and Manchester border right opposite Manchester Cathedral and just a minute's walk from the city centre. It has become known for its stylish aparthotel offering as well as plush extras for guests including a swimming pool and jacuzzi.

The building also gained fame for a host of its high profile guests - including Manchester City boss Pep and a host of his team after it first opened in 2017. They are understood to have taken out specific floors of the building that are purely used for long stay residents rather than hotel guests.

The 16-storey building hosts 237 one and two-bedroom luxury apartments that all come complete with their own kitchens (with oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge freezer, washer and coffee machine) as well as a spacious living room area. You can rent the apartments for any length of time from four nights upwards - with bosses saying the average stay is around three weeks.

But there are also two floors of privately-owned apartments - where it is understood Pep and some of his star players, including David Silva when at City, were based. It is one of the new breed of apartment hotels in the city centre, giving business travellers needing to stay in the city a little longer than a few days more living space, and more home comforts than a regular hotel room.
