That’s a decent budget, there are the usual chains - radisson, Hilton etc. The Lowry is nice but too far out.
Personally, I’d stay in the Hotel Gotham or King Street Townhouse

Lowry Hotel isn't far out! The footbridge just behind House Of Fraser is really easy and good access for Spinningfields. We habe stayed there a few times and I like to be close!
I would like to stay at Hotel Gotham, looks lovely!
Personally think The Hilton is actually less central.
Don't go for Malmaisson, that is a bit further out!

We stayed at Marriott Victoria and Albert which was lovely and also, I think, the Principal. Now we stay at hotel "son and his girlfriend", it even has free parking!
Enjoy the markets.

I love the Lowry and I love club level at the Hilton (for its free evening drinks and canapés...hic!). The Radisson is also nice and 2 minutes walk from the markets. Alberts Schloss across from the Radisson is fab for drinks and food.

Think that's different to Albert Schloss, it's the same as Alberts Shed in Castlefield I think.
I've not been in Albert Scloss, might have to try on my Christmas market visit!

Miami and Keys, maybe Orlando!
