About this place Dakota Hotel Manchester Airport

Dakota Hotel Manchester Airport is a mainstream hotel on Enterprise Way at Manchester Airport, listed as gay-friendly rather than a gay venue. Dakota is a design-led UK hotel brand, and this is one of its newer properties, so there are only a handful of reviews so far. It is a practical choice for early departures or late arrivals. For Manchester's Gay Village on Canal Street, allow about 30 minutes by train from the airport station to Manchester Piccadilly, then a short walk. Check the website for parking and airport transfer details.

I work abroad, so I fly from Manchester quite regularly and have stayed in many hotels around the airport, this has been the best one ive stayed in yet. It's a lovely hotel, staff very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were stunning and the bed was perfect. Very close to terminal 2, and they run a 24hr shuttle service. Would definitely stay again...

Excellent! Brand new, clean as a whistle, sophisticated vibes, great staff, very cool, totally unexpected airport hotel that feels more like a hip destination in Austin. Proper lite.

We went just for a dinner. The food was amazing. Taste and presentation was stunning. I had a filet stake and it was best stake which I ever had. Bar and restaurant area is just incredible beautiful.

We've just stayed at the new Dakota Manchester Airport and honestly couldn't have been more impressed. It's so refreshing to finally have a genuinely luxurious hotel right by the airport. The rooms were beautiful, the terrace was a lovely place to unwind, and both the bar and restaurant felt really premium without being pretentious. The service was brilliant throughout. The bar staff were friendly, welcoming and made the evening even better. A special mention to AJ, who drove us to the terminal in the morning. He was an absolute gent and such a great start to an early travel day. Considering the price, the value is incredible. It completely took the stress out of our early morning flight and turned it into something we actually enjoyed. A huge thank you to everyone at Dakota for such a fantastic stay. We'll definitely be back.

We had a fantastic stay at the Dakota Hotel Manchester. The hotel is brand new and absolutely stunning – beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly modern. We stayed in a Classic King Room, which was stylish, well-equipped with everything we needed, and had one of the most comfortable beds we’ve slept in. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. We were warmly welcomed by the concierge, and having our car parked for us was a lovely touch that made check-in effortless. We also spent the evening in the bar and couldn’t fault it. The food was absolutely delicious – the burger was excellent, the beef tartare was outstanding, and the cocktails and wine were both fantastic. A special mention to Harvey, who looked after us so well throughout the evening. He was friendly, attentive, and really helped make our visit memorable. Overall, a beautiful hotel with outstanding service, fantastic food, and a luxurious atmosphere. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manchester.

Wonderful stay at the new Dakota Manchester Airport. Fabulous customer experience, all the staff so friendly and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. The rooms are beautiful, and everything just works and makes sense. Everything you need, where you need it! Dinner delightful, breakfast beautiful and a bed so comfy it could be hard to get up for a flight. Using the shuttle was so handy and the drivers so obliging. Will happily stay again, whether before a flight or for a general visit.
