The Knutsford Hotel has an excellent location just off junction 19 of the M6 motorway on the A556, providing quick and easy access to Manchester and Manchester Airport, ideal for both leisure and business travellers. It has recently been run under a different hotel brand amd will be rebranded and refurbished.

The hotel rooms are simply furnished and contain amenities including a desk, television, double bed and an en-suite shower room. The hotel has on-site parking and restaurant. The hotel will undergo a refurbishment programme to improve its facilities and optimise room rates and occupancy.
Following the refurbishment programme, the hotel will be re-branded with the largest hotel brand in Europe, benefiting from brand awareness, marketing expertise and their world leading booking system.
There are approximately 1,300 hotels and approaching 122,000 rooms under the brand in Europe and they have spent €150 million rebranding the budget hotel chain in 2011, including €30 million on a global advertising campaign, creating mass global awareness of the brand.
A key trend in the UK hotel market has been the expansion of the budget hotel, offering both business and leisure travellers competitive rates in times of recession. The other recognised trend is guests favouring brands, which may be partly attributed to dominance of the market.
The Knutsford Hotel is situated in a great location for Manchester Airport, handling 19.7 million travellers per year. Knutsford is a popular stop-over for travellers as it located on the primary route out of Manchester, heading towards Birmingham and London.
