King Street Townhouse

A Businessclass Verified Hotel

Nestled in the heart of Manchester, King Street Townhouse stands as an exquisite example of boutique hospitality, seamlessly marrying heritage and contemporary luxury. Occupying a meticulously restored Grade II listed former bank from 1872, this urban sanctuary is just steps away from Manchester’s vibrant shopping avenues, cultural landmarks, and nightlife hotspots. Boasting only 40 individually styled rooms and suites, each accommodation showcases a thoughtful fusion of modern design and original Victorian features, ensuring a bespoke and restful stay for every guest. The hotel’s most distinguished retreats are the two 45-square-metre signature suites on the fifth floor, named after the city’s architectural luminaries—Alfred Waterhouse, famed for designing Manchester Town Hall, and Great Abel, an homage to the iconic bell and mayor Abel Heywood. Guests of these suites are welcomed with a curated platter of artisanal treats, signature cocktails served at arrival, an ESPA sleep ritual kit at turndown, and a luxury ESPA amenity set for the bath.

Exclusive privileges for hotel residents include access to the acclaimed rooftop infinity pool—offering panoramic views of the Manchester skyline—along with a state-of-the-art TechnoGym fitness studio and a rejuvenating spa. The spa continues to set itself apart in 2025 with the only Himalayan salt cave in Northern England, complemented by a full thermal suite, salt inhalation room, sauna, steam bath, ice fountain, and heated loungers. Dining at The Tavern delivers an inviting, upscale ambiance, where guests can indulge in modern British fare crafted from the region’s finest produce, available throughout the day. For a sophisticated end to your evening, the hotel’s Bar offers an array of premium Champagnes and expertly mixed cocktails in a convivial setting. Our experience at King Street Townhouse reflects its reputation as one of Manchester’s premier boutique addresses, balancing timeless elegance with innovative amenities for the discerning traveler.
