King Street Townhouse

They call this a small adaptation of a grand hotel, and that’s exactly what it is, so you feel quite privileged to be there, like a friend with impeccably good taste has invited you round; your guests will love it so if you’re looking for a distinctly eclectic Manchester venue for an informal business meeting, private dining, drinks reception, or festive party for up to 150 guests, this is it - plus they have what is surely the best cinema in town – a luxurious private screening room that seats 20.

King Street Townhouse is the result of an amazing transformation of an Italian renaissance building originally built as a bank. Inside it’s a delight; homely and eclectic, with sumptuous fabrics and the relaxed atmosphere enhanced by soft lighting. Up on the 6th floor is the South Terrace and Lounge where you can hold a gathering for 150 guests; they’ll be nice and warm beneath the heated canopy, no doubt taking full advantage of the private bar, and admiring the stunning views of the city skyline. On the first floor the Small Hub can be hired for private dining for up to 30, and the Large Hub, with its own bar, for up to 50, but book both together and there’s space for 80 to dine and for 100 to let their hair down and chink glasses at a party.

You’ll love the Mezzanine Lounge for private dining for 14; big fat sofas, inviting armchairs and a display fireplace; it’s so, so homely, and it gives you a peek of the Tavern Restaurant down below, which is buzzing. The happy chatter wafts up and just lingers there, adding to the ambience of your dining experience. If you like to impress then you should book the brick vaulted wine cellars where 14 guests can dine in exquisite exclusivity, with optional Sommelier service. The Screening room is also in the cellars; private viewing on a state-of-the-art screen with sound system.

King Street Townhouse offers attractively priced day and 24-hour delegate packages with all the basics you need, and good healthy grub. There are 40 bedrooms and suites, individually designed and so homely you’ll want to stay for longer. On the 7th floor is the Infinity Spa Pool and Spa Area which hotel guests can use, and there’s a small gym down on the second floor.
