Locations

The Pendulum Hotel is located within central Manchester, a short walk from the city centre, and within easy reach of plenty of pubs and restaurants. The main train station, Manchester Picadilly, is not far away. It is not possible to park a car at the Pendulum Hotel, but a five-minute walk away is NCP Manchester Circle Square, a multi-storey car park for which you can pre-book online or pay on site.

The Pendulum Hotel is relatively expensive. It's possible to get a small discount (with breakfast added) by using the code DELEGATE when booking. We've added several other hotels to our map for ease of reference.

If you're flying in to Manchester Airport, there are several trains per hour which will take you to Picadilly. The price is £2, and tickets are available for purchase when you arrive.
