“An opulent Victorian building turned into a deluxe hotel in the city centre. Stylish rooms boast all the mod cons yet nod to the past with stunning wood panelling, high ceilings & original brickwork. Imposing yet inviting public areas & restaurants are very popular with locals. Cool grand dame.”

Kimpton Clocktower Hotel
In an imposing terracotta Victorian building, with ornate original features and one of Manchester’s most popular bars, the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel combines classic good looks with a cool streak. And, despite its grand public areas, it’s warm and welcoming, with thoughtful extras for all guests, from families to dogs.
