‘Somewhere over the RAINBOW, skies are BLUE’  …… hmmm, I bet when Judy Garland sang this whilst playing Dorothy in ‘The Wizard of Oz’, a trendy city centre aparthotel in Manchester was furthest from her mind but for the owners who dared to dream the dream, their dreams really did come true and Blue Rainbow Aparthotel was born!

Blue Rainbow Aparthotel is situated in Manchester city centre where Deansgate meets Castlefield.  They are away from hustle and bustle yet less than a 5 minute walk from bars, restaurants and shops.  Their location also means that when you stay here you’re  less than a 10 minute, clear traffic drive to the MEN Arena, Old Trafford Football Stadium and the Etihad Stadium.  It’s in this area, where the creative minds of design studios and architects practices sit and so it’s a natural fit that the apartments themselves would have such style and design at the heart of what they do, whilst the staff treat their customers as family and it is good northern hospitality and service that matters!

Blue Rainbow Aparthotel have successfully grown to be one of Manchester’s most popular ‘serviced aparthotel’ concepts because it gives you as the customer just what you’re looking for; affordable standards of a 5 star luxury hotel yet with the space and convenience of an apartment, or a home-from-home and you’ll just want to keep coming back again and again!

Blue Rainbow offer a series of one and two bedroom apartments; perfect for one, two, three or four people to share comfortably, easily and with plenty of space so you’re not on top of one another because even friends need space from each other when you’re away on a business trip or for a weekend away.  Having one or two separate bedrooms in an aparthotel  means that you can share cost, share the apartment, the living room and the kitchen but have your own bedroom space – the perfect solution to great value!   But it’s not just about the space, it’s about living the lifestyle too in a stunning apartment designed to the highest spec with top of the range furnishings and stylish colour schemes.  The advantage of these apartments over other forms of accommodation, mean that you have your separate bedroom space, away from the kitchen and lounge area, meaning you can relax in comfort and not have to sit on your bed to watch your favourite programmes or on demand movies on your  42″ TV whilst away from home.

The Apartments in Manchester come in 3 categories.

1 and 2 bedroom Saver Apartments, located on the lower 1st and 2nd floors – perfect if you’re looking for short stay and don’t need the full luxury of a Premium or Executive apartments.  You still get 5 star service and quality with all that home-from-home comfort, spacious designer living and top of the range kitchens.  The only difference is that the Saver Apartments don’t have the extras such as the branded Bathrobes and Welcome Packs – but you still get the essentials like a selection of teas and coffee along with real milk so you can still relax and make the perfect hot drink!

The Executive Apartments are situated across six floors and overlook the beautiful indoor Japanese garden, they are all equally as spacious and available in both 1 and 2 bedroom apartments.

All Executive apartments come complete with a fantastic welcome bag which includes goodies like chocolates, biscuits, some cereals and juices plus you also get luxurious bath robes on request and a great selection of coffees and teas.  They are the ultimate in luxury and are finished off to the highest standard, with beautiful bedrooms, fantastic kitchens and a real homely feeling.
