Thank you to all our entrants and to our seven other finalists and, finally, a big thank you to our sponsor, Malmaison Manchester, without whom the competition would not have been possible.

Malmasion Manchester, has a red and black décor, we think it’s reminiscent of the Moulin Rouge. It’s certainly stylish, whatever colour you’re hoping to paint the town. With stunning rooms and suites, Mal Manchester is perfect for a luxury city break. We offer elegant rooms and opulent suites, a fabulous bar and classy brasserie. www.malmaison.com
