The Best Meeting Rooms in Manchester

Need a meeting room in Manchester? Don’t want to compromise on style, functionality, location and proximity to transport links? Then look no further than our Manchester-based meeting rooms. 

Whether you need a base in the city centre, or another spot across the Greater Manchester area - there’s a plethora of meeting rooms to choose from.

The Best Meeting Rooms in Manchester City Centre

It’s likely that you will have heard of some of our meeting hotspots in Manchester, even if you’re not based in the North West. Since the pandemic, working life is increasingly bringing us outside of London to the North West of England and demand for meeting rooms in Manchester has soared.

Finding a smart, comfortable working space to feel inspired and productive in has become a key part of our working week, and we understand the importance of a vibrant environment for all kinds of professionals. 

111 Piccadilly

Located next door to Manchester Piccadilly train station, 111 Piccadilly was completely renovated in 2020 to make it one of the coolest meeting places in town. Within walking distance from all major transport hubs, as well as the countless bars and restaurants that populate Manchester’s thriving food and drink scene, it’s ideally-placed for people to transition from work to play. 

With digital art installations and an abundance of plants, 111 Piccadilly provides a visually stimulating backdrop for your meetings  - which promises to brighten up Monday mornings.  Boost your workrate with an artisanal coffee from Ancoats Coffee Co. in the lounge, and nip out for a breath of fresh air in the gorgeous outdoor space. 

Our meeting rooms come with superfast Wi-Fi and a HD wireless presentation screen, so the days of struggling to get online in your local cafe are long gone. There’s also a supply of stationery available upon request, should you need to go back to basics with pen and paper. 

Meeting rooms can be booked for 30 minutes upwards, starting at £30-£70 per hour (depending on the room), £85-£165 for  half a day and £135-£260 for a full day. Rooms can accommodate up to 20 people, and come equipped with AV equipment and refreshments to keep meetings accessible and comfortable for presenters and attendees alike.

Blackfriars House

Located in the Parsonage Gardens Conservation Zone, Blackfriars House boasts gorgeous views of the River Irwell, as well as overlooking the impressive Cathedral Gardens. A gem of Edwardian architecture, the historic Blackfriars House stands out amongst modern Manchester’s urban metropolis. 

With its granite entrance, panelled rooms, fully-stocked bookshelves, and rich colour palette, the interiors of Blackfriars hark back to a more opulent era - whilst still maintaining Bruntwood’s characteristic utility and accessibility. Explore nearby Deansgate and Spinningfields to discover bustling bars and restaurants, perfect for entertaining clients or post-meeting socials with your team.

Meeting room rental begins at £35 for an hour, ranges from £105 - £210 for  half a day and £175 - £350 for the full day.

Boasting an ideal meeting location between King Street and Market Street, Bloc was part of Bruntwood Works’ £50m Pioneer transformation, boasting plenty of greenery, sleep pods, wellness rooms and more innovative design features to boost productivity. 

The perfect spot to host and attend meetings in the city centre, Bloc’s USP is its flexibility, so ensure you make use of the coworking studio, cinema room and events auditorium as well. 

Grab a coffee from the independent coffee shop - Trove - to fuel a day full of meetings. If you remember to bring your mat, slip off your shoes and join a pre-meeting yoga workout in Bloc’s state-of-the-art yoga studio by FORM. Whether it's a bad back, a stiff neck or you'd like to touch your toes with ease - integrating exercise into your workday will do wonders for your physical and mental health

Alternatively, you could grab lunch at the cafe and get comfortable in a breakout space, which can be a more relaxed option than a whole meeting room - especially if there are only a couple of you working together.
