This month, Kimpton Hotels and Restaurants opened its new hotel in Manchester, the UK. This is the fourth hotel by this company in the country as Kimpton already has three other properties in operation, namely, hotels in London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Kimpton Clocktower hotel in Manchester brings renowned cuisine, modern style, and personalized service to this British city.
The hotelier has made a wonderful choice for its next property in the portfolio. The new Manchester hotel is open in a Grade II building completed in the 90s of the 19th century. At that time, the eye-catching terracotta building was the headquarters of the Refuge Assurance Company. The gorgeous Victorian-style building with the prominent clock tower is one of the popular architectural landmarks in Manchester. Today, tourists can choose from 259 loft-style rooms and 11 suites, all of which have double or triple height ceilings.
Stained glass, glazed bricks, decorated wooden staircases add a touch of luxury to the contemporary design of the hotel. The lobby features a bronze artwork by Sophie Dickens a 3-meter-tall horse. Kimpton describes its new hotel in Manchester as a wow property and one more reason to stay in Manchester a bit longer. Just like other Kimpton hotels around the world, the new property is a charming and welcoming place far from the ordinary.
All rooms in the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel Manchester have vinyl records of the most popular bands from this city such as Oasis, Stone Roses, Take That, and more. Of course, all signature perks of the Kimpton brand are available here including yoga mats and the most popular guest essentials available as a part of the “Forgot It? We’ve Got It” program. All rooms also feature complimentary tuck boxes with mineral water, fresh milk, and other products in the fridge. Thanks to the prime location in the city center, guests of the hotel have simple access to Manchester Piccadilly Station, restaurants, department stores, and other attractions.
