Dylan, Disraeli, Churchill, Pankhurst and Jimmy Page all made history in this monumental building at the heart of Manchester. Now a sumptuous five-star hotel oozing style and zen-like simplicity - it's pulling in a brand new breed of superstar names.For such a large hotel (263 rooms) the Radisson manages to exude an air of surprising serenity with giant Buddha heads and carved statues in the foyer and a clean-cut design throughout. Floor to ceiling windows provide excellent views in the spacious rooms, and the crushed velvet throws, leather headboards, and dark woods strike the right balance between minimalist sophistication and cosy comfort. For even more space opt for an Al Fresco suite with a wonderful covered outdoor area with patio plants and wooden decking. Downstairs there's a small swimming pool, a sauna and spa, but the main attraction is the seductive Opus One restaurant. A far cry from the demure charms of the rest of the hotel, its red velvet walls, sultry chandeliers and custom-made furniture make it the best place in town to be seen quaffing cocktails.

Nip around the corner for a look around the John Rylands Gallery, one of Manchester's most incredible Victorian Gothic buildings, and follow it up with a drink at former umbrella factory Ra!n, before finishing the night with dinner on the glass-walled terrace at Opus One.
