Template:Mergefrom The Midland, Manchester is a hotel in the centre of Manchester, England.
The Midland was built by Charles Trubshaw in 1898-1903 for the Midland Railway Company and is situated next to the G-Mex Centre and Bridgewater Hall. Its distinctive style is made of red brick and brown terracotta, with the exterior clad in several varieties of polished granite and burmantofts.
