Bespoke Hotels is opening the ‘spectacular’ Hotel Gotham in Manchester in spring 2015 – promising to make it ‘a fun, witty destination and a little bit naughty. We want it to be the sexiest hotel in Europe’.
The completely new hotel in the central conservation area of Manchester is set in one of the city’s grandest, listed buildings – former bank premises at 100 King Street which were designed by Edwin Lutyens and referenced in Pevsner’s Architectural Guide.
Of the 60 bedrooms, four will be inner sanctum suites complete with their own gardens. There will be a restaurant, and a prohibition style bar and roof-top members-only club.
The Art Deco building features carvings by local sculptor John Ashton Floyd, and was dubbed the ‘King of King Street’, due to its grandeur, size and castle-like design.
The building hit the national news in 2010 when it was alleged that safe deposit boxes containing jewellery, gold and master tapes from Joy Division and New Order recording sessions were found on the site.
Working in partnership with the Marshall Construction Group team, Bespoke is aiming to open up the character of this majestic building and present it to the Manchester public as a hotel they can be truly proud of.
When it opens in 2015, Hotel Gotham will be fully refurbished as a luxury, 5-star hotel in the heart of Manchester’s most upmarket shopping district.
Hotel Gotham, 100 King Street, Manchester, M60 8HG.
