Hyatt Regency Manchester Hotel Review is part of Punxsutawney TPOL Trip Report.
I once wrote, Hostel v. Hotel v. Friend’s Home. In Manchester, the world’s greatest college campus (see Guns & Butter: Manchester Travel Guide), the answer could be all three. Given my exhaustion from the previous destinations (see Guns & Butter: Belfast, Edinburgh, Copenhagen, Ribera Del Duero), the best option was the Hyatt Regency.
Getting There
The Hyatt Regency is easily accessible by train from MAN airport. Take the train to Oxford Road and walk ten minutes. 
Points
One day Hyatt will seriously devalue and ruin our lives (see Hyatt Regency Toronto: Please Don’t Devalue!). When I look back at this post and see I only spent 8k points for this hotel, I will be sad.
Location
Like the Moxy in Edinburgh, the Hyatt Regency is located in the middle of a college campus. Here that was the University of Manchester.
Room
The room, like TPOL, was smart chic. 
Bathroom
LED bulb mirrors are everywhere now. It is also nice to see more hotels adapting rain showers instead of the loathsome stand-up tubs with a shower wand. 
Regency Lounge
The lounge was closed due to Covid, but the bar downstairs was used as a replacement. It rivaled the experience of my favorite Regency lounge in Mexico City (see The Hyatt Regency Mexico City Review).
Overall
This hotel is a steal. Let’s hope it stays that way.
What’s there to do in Manchester? Any suggestions?
I’m doing the SQ IAH-MAN flight next month with kids.
I believe that post is tomorrow
