Business women get “Cointreauversial” in Manchester

Women travelling to Manchester on business can now enjoy a little extra comfort and peace of mind at the four-star deluxe hotel Macdonald Manchester Hotel, as this month it recognises the growing number of lone female travellers to the city and launches a dedicated floor of 47 bedrooms designed specifically for lady travellers – with a cocktail bonus from Cointreau.

The £50 million hotel in central Manchester boasts 338 bedrooms with extensive business and meeting facilities for all travellers, as well as a new luxury thermal spa which opened last February, and now has 47 bedrooms dedicated to the needs of the modern businesswoman. The bedrooms are all located on the 3rd floor of the hotel and offer increased peace of mind as additional security measures mean that this floor can only be accessed by guests staying in one of the lady traveller rooms.

The spacious bedrooms now include top of the range GHD hair straighteners in addition to a large stylist’s hairdryer, a nail care kit, bathrobe set and some of those “often forgotten” ladies toiletries such as make-up remover and body lotion.

Plus exclusively to these rooms, ladies can relax after a long day with a soak in the bath and a complimentary Cointreau cocktail. Using the mini cocktail shaker and Cointreau liqueur, found in a funky pink gift bag in their room, ladies can blend their own Cointreaupolitan cocktail with cranberry juice and the hotel’s room service team will deliver the ice and lime to complete your drink.

Further services designed to ensure that a lone female traveller enjoys a relaxed visit to the Macdonald Manchester Hotel include an on-request concierge service to meet you at Manchester Piccadilly station, just a short walk from the hotel, 24-hour porterage and for added peace of mind, valet parking to the Hotel’s car park.
