02 / Why this property qualifies
Hotel and casino share the Portland Street development
Merseyside travellers looking for a true stay-and-play address will not find one inside the county today. This Manchester property is listed because the hotel and casino sit in the same Portland Street block rather than across the street from an unrelated operator.
The hotel’s leisure copy points guests “into the vaults” for the casino below — language that would be empty if the gaming floor were merely nearby.
CDL Hospitality Trusts, which publishes a factsheet for the hotel, lists a casino with restaurant and bar among the property’s facilities and cites the combined address as 57 & 59 Portland Street. Napoleons markets the hotel as the convenient overnight base for casino visitors. Operator brands remain separate; guests still book rooms with the hotel and enter the casino under casino rules.
03 / The hotel side
Rooms, dining and access on Portland Street
According to the hotel’s public site, the property offers free Wi‑Fi, pet stays for small dogs with a nightly charge, and meeting spaces for events. Dining is centred on Runyon’s Bar & Restaurant, with Salvation Bar described for private hire and skyline views. The hotel highlights fully accessible Liberty Suites and a Green Tourism Gold Award.
Getting there (expand for more detail)
The hotel publishes what3words humid.warm.hurls and states Manchester Piccadilly is about a ten-minute walk. Napoleons notes Piccadilly roughly 500 metres away and several public car parks within a short walk. Confirm parking charges and Blue Badge arrangements directly with the hotel before arrival.
Families and non-gaming areas
Hotel public areas and restaurants may welcome guests of different ages. The casino floor does not. If you are travelling with anyone under 18, keep plans to the hotel side and confirm house rules with reception. Never leave under-18s unsupervised near gaming entrances.

This guide is not a licensee. Naming a licence number is independent verification for readers, not a badge of endorsement by the Commission.

Napoleons lists American roulette, blackjack, punto banco, mahjong, electronic gaming, traditional slots and a heated outdoor gaming terrace among facilities. We do not publish table or machine counts because the operator does not give fixed public numbers that we could corroborate.
Dining notes from the operator’s site
The restaurant overlooks the gaming floor. Napoleons describes seasonal menus with vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus late-night dining. Restaurant promotions change; treat any meal-and-bet style offers as operator promotions only and read their current terms on the official site. Tables for dining can be reserved; drinks-only seating is first come, first served according to Napoleons.
