Accommodation

Manchester offers a wide range of accommodation options that can be booked directly with hotels or via platforms such as Booking.com and Airbnb. The University of Manchester is centrally located, with excellent public transport links, so most city-centre hotels are either within walking distance or a short bus or tram journey away.

To help with planning, we have highlighted several hotels that are close to the conference venue or well connected by public transport.

Here is a map of all the recommended locations:
