Hotel manager Kelly Andreasson says: “Kimpton Clocktower continues to captivate, and No. 51 is set to be one of the most opulent suites in the city. The Kimpton brand is rooted in heartfelt human connections, and we look forward to welcoming guests, where we will provide a next-level service.”
Location-wise, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is as central as you can get. On the corner of Oxford Street and Whitworth Street, it’s a five-minute stroll to Canal Street’s buzzy bars and restaurants, and Oxford Road station is just across the road (Piccadilly station is a 15-minute walk).
The striking terracotta building started life the Refuge Assurance headquarters in 1895 and has retained many of its ornate industrial features – all glazed tiles, domed marble pillars and carved wooden staircases. Now a 270-bed hotel, contemporary touches draw the city’s cool crowd – a 1,300lb bronze stone horse, designed by Sophie Dickens (Charles Dickens’s granddaughter), sits in the lobby, and on the tiled wall in the Refuge dining hall, you’ll find the hotel’s much-Instagrammed black and white mural ‘The Glamour of Manchester’, a slogan which perfectly sets the stage for your stay.
