With its Victorian architecture and fresh approach to hospitality, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is the perfect expression of its setting: Manchester, a city where tradition and modernity meet and where artisanship reigns supreme. Housed in a magnificent terracotta Grade II–listed building, Kimpton Clocktower has a history that dates back to 1890, when the building first opened as The Refuge Assurance Company headquarters.

With its namesake clocktower, grand Victorian facade, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel impresses from the get-go, standing proudly on its street corner and distinguishing itself from its gritty surroundings.

Every interaction is warm yet fluff-free, making the Manchester hotel a draw for international travelers and locals alike, who come together, whisky in-hand, to breathe new life into one of the city’s most famous buildings.
