The Light has been turned on in Manchester -

heralding a bright new alternative for visitors to the city.

Manchester's first Boutique ApartHotel has now officially opened its doors to guests - giving them the very best of both worlds.
 
Located in the heart of Manchester, in Church Street, the fabulous £11 million The Light ApartHotel offers the first serious alternative to five-star hotel accommodation in the city.
 The Light ApartHotel occupies the middle floors of the 20-storey glass and steel tower designed by Conran & Partners, Sir Terence Conran's architecture and design practice.

Perfect for business and pleasure, The Light offers the freedom, space and value for money of an ultra-stylish apartment AND many of the services associated with a top-class boutique-style hotel.
 
Its 42 individually styled one and two bedroom apartments, most with spacious covered balconies and fantastic views of the city skyline, are roomy, bright and beautifully furnished.
 
They have fully equipped kitchens, their own laundry facilities and extensive storage. Visitors also benefit from The Light's reception and concierge service, which is eager to serve.
 
The Light ApartHotel also offers travellers the chance to hit the heights by staying in its two impressive penthouse apartments with floor to ceiling glass walls.
 
One even has the added luxury of a six-person hot tub on its 2,000-square-foot terrace - the ultimate place to party during your stay.
 
The Light ApartHotel also has a 1,000-square-foot terrace that can be hired as the perfect setting for any private function and from July 2009 its gym, cafe and meeting rooms will also be open.

Overlooking Piccadilly Gardens, the iconic Light building is just a stroll away from Manchester's fantastic shopping, its theatres and theMEN Arena and the finest bars and restaurants.
