Where to Stay

We have negotiated a discount with the faculty hotel. It’s the same hotel where we’ll be hosting the Saturday night party and is situated just a few minutes walk from the conference venue. The hotel has put together details of how to book your stay:

  • Go to Hyatt House Manchester website
  • Click on Book Now in yellow.
  • Add dates and the group code –
    Dates: 18-20th Nov 2022 | Code: G-FGY9
    The code goes on ‘Corporate or Group Code’.

NB You will be required by the hotel to show proof of your conference booking to validate use of the discount code.

The cut off for using the discount code is 31st August 2022.

Alternatively, the Visit Manchester website can be useful if you aren’t familiar with the city. Or try Airbnb – you can book a house and gather your friends to split the costs while sharing the adventure.
