Switch Off: Take a dip in Manchester’s infinity pool
Switch Off: Take a dip in Manchester’s infinity pool
Nothing beats an evening swim, unless it’s accompanied by views across a city skyline.
Perched on the seventh floor of the King Street Townhouse Hotel, a small south-facing infinity spa pool overlooks Manchester’s town hall and clock tower, whose views are made even better by the orangey-pink hues of the sun setting over the rooftops. The hotel spa area also includes a steam room and relaxation area (with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows), and you can even book in a massage or facial, if you really want to unwind.
