            To get to the hotel by rail:

            The hotel is about five minutes’ walk from Manchester Piccadilly station. Follow Piccadilly round to Portland street: the hotel is on your left.

            By road:

Keep following signs for Manchester City Centre, then turn right onto the B6469 (Whitworth Street West). When this becomes Whitworth Street you can either park at the Argent car park opposite the train station, or bear left onto Aytoun Street, where you can either turn right into Hope Street and park at the NCP Grand, or continue to the T-junction and turn right onto Portland Street: the Portland Hotel will be on your right.
