As one of the most renowned venues in Manchester (and regularly voted as one of the city's best), the Victoria Warehouse is a haven for music lovers of any kind.
The preserved industrial warehouse is converted to host the most raw of events, such as Cosmosis Festival in March 2016, and Sankeys Warehouse, who will celebrate the start of the year with Fatboy Slim and more on New Year's Day.
The venue boasts its own hotel, which usually gets fully booked during events, so we have selected five alternatives for anyone looking to spend time there around an event.
From: £76.50 per room
Lengthen your escapism by heading back to The Heart Apartments on the brink of the Salford Quays. Edging on the river’s edge, the serviced apartments will be a sanctuary for the morning after or even benefit an extended stay post or pre event.
Opening your eyes from the etchings of last night, the Heart apartments have a fully fitted kitchen with appliances to cater for your breakfast needs. Advanced purchase is the key to save a few pounds, so bring a crowd of up to five or make it a two person trip.
The sizeable lounge boasts an abundance of light as the views reflect upon the Quays. Settle in a night ahead for a Saturday which will nourish ear drums and ink into your long-term memory.
From: £139 per room
For those with a contemporary sense of design, the Rotana apartments are recognised by the walnut wooded exterior, streaming high upon levels. Situated on Broadway in Media City, a 15 minute tram ride takes you to the rustic standing Victoria Warehouse.
The pleasures of an apartment is the self-tailoring. Take charge in your premier serviced apartment, rustling up a feast in the high spec fitted kitchen.
All apartments feature a flat-screen TV with free-view channels to consume your leisure time. For the online watchers, Wi-Fi is provided through the apartment, free of charge. The apartment consists of a secure private car park, with the motorway close by.

For the budding Manchester United fans, avid supporting is defined as normality in this environment. The boutique hotel is an offering to sport culture, articulated by the 'Class of '92' legends; Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs. An unforeseeable blend of sport and music merge as the hotel is distanced five minutes from Victoria Warehouse.
The air conditioned rooms feature a minibar and an optional 24 hour room service to fill the hungriest of bellies. In-room entertainment features a TV with the full Sky Sports package. Selecting a Standard room pleasingly retains comfort features such as the king size Hypnos bed.
From: £45 per room
For the wiser money spenders, the Travelodge chain is an unquestionable guarantee of value for money. A 15 minute walk from the hotel takes you to the event which will be returning to Manchester for another year. Two can sleep after being serenaded by the amplified sonics at Cosmosis.
Extend your stay with an early or late check-in to maximise sleeping time. A standard room offers an essential seating area adjacent to a plumped double bed. Inviting you to the quieter end of Manchester, the scene provides you with an antithetical silence, much needed after an evening of hailing global artists.
From: £84.15 per room
This option marginalises finesse with minimalism as the en-suite rooms are furnished with modernisation in mind. End the night with a drink at the carousel bar or order-in with the 24-hour room service. The suites are air conditioned and hold a security deposit box for your more valuable of belongings. Each room contains a TV with a selection of pay-to-play movies.
Situated on Trafford Road, the location is ideal as it branches out to local points of interest; the Lowry Outlet Mall, Lowry Theatre and the bustling piazza of Media City. Evaporating your jet-lag, the rooms of the Ramada will become your centre point of leisure.
