Moxy Hotels, Marriott Bonvoy’s experiential hotel brand, has officially opened in Manchester with the launch of Moxy Manchester City, inviting us all to #playon #atthemoxy…
Manchester’s latest contemporary neighbourhood hotel, Moxy Manchester, is located in the heart of Spinningfields. The hotel is sheltered inside a rising nine-storey building, which is clad in weathered-effect metal panels to give an urban contrast to the original façade that has been retained from the former hat factory. Young at heart, Moxy Manchester City is the place to be for a social staycation, offering affordable fun and endless adventure, which starts the minute you step into Bar Moxy – the social heart of the hotel, which also serves as the hotel’s front desk, where a cocktail is served at check-in, alongside the room key.

Bar Moxy and the social atrium space has a modern and industrial feel, with local-inspired artwork, curated Manchester-style illustrations and illuminated signs across the lobby. A foosball table, card games and board games and communal lockers also feature in the 24/7 space. From brightly coloured pouffe seating, hidden corners, and laid-back sofas to seats at the urban-style wrap-around bar, there’s something for all occasions.
Featuring a light bites menu and vibrant cocktail, Bar Moxy will also have DJs playing every night to draw hotel guests out of their rooms and locals out of their homes. An extensive drinks menu of beers, spirits, wine, and cocktails are available – featuring Moxy specials, Got MOXY: Gin, with MOXY syrup blend, a non-alcoholic Fauxy Moxy: MOXY Syrup Blend and Chilled Tea and the star of the show, Disco Diva: the ultimate sharing cocktail served in a disco ball with Vodka, Vanilla, Limoncello, Citrus Elderflower, Pomegranate, and Prosecco. There’s also a dedicated barista counter for a coffee fix, and Grab n Go snacks and beverages available 24/7.
The 146 stylish and smartly designed guestrooms can be as productive or as playful as needed. From plush platform beds to a fun-size workspace and comfy lounge chairs. Moxy Manchester City rooms feature walk-in showers, TVs with Netflix, open-wall closets, and motion activated LED guidelights. Plus, they’re pet friendly, so pooches can come too.
Moxy hotels are designed with social media-lovers in mind, and Moxy Manchester City is the first Manchester hotel to have a digital ‘Guestbook’ wall. The Guestbook streams photos, and videos that Moxy guests have shared to the social sphere. Moxy moments are shared on the wall, which constantly changes as the social feed is updated.

The Moxy ethos is all about stylish, industrial design and sociable service at an attractive price point, allowing guests to splurge on the experiences that matter most to them during their travels.
