Manchester is one of the few cities of the world to have emerged from virtual collapse (following the decline of the Industrial Revolution), wholly embracing social change and reinvent itself with more than a little success. Many look to this post-industrial city as a beacon of future change. Areas which were once derelict have been revitalised and vast areas of the city centre rejuvenated. Today the City of Manchester offers fantastic opportunities for various vacations and city breaks but what if you want to visit the city with your pet? The following article introduces pet friendly hotels and accommodation in Manchester city centre.
Like the vast majority of English cities Manchester has plenty of accommodation available, the choice is enormous but few accommodation providers allow pets in their rooms. I searched through over one hundred hotels, guest houses and other accommodation to find those which clearly state that pets are allowed.
