About us

A luxury hotel with an industrial soul that is sprawled out on Oxford Street at the heart of Manchester, a rich, complex city with cool-kid cult status. Manchester is the more rebellious cousin to London. But that doesn’t mean it’s lacking the hallmarks of a dynamic urban centre: an amazing food scene with a new crop of forward-thinking chefs, galleries and museums that celebrate local artists and makers and quaint parks sweeping swaths of green over the gritty, industrial streetscape. Whoever you are and wherever you come from, you’ll be welcomed into the textured fabric of this come-onecome- all city. Kimpton Clocktower has 18 meeting and event spaces that include the Whitworth Rooms, which can be used in conjunction with the newly renovated Ballroom to create flexible conferencing facilities for more than 1,500 delegates, with a private entrance via Waterhouse Way on Whitworth Street. In addition to having some of the best large-scale conference rooms in the UK, you will also find a suite of smaller spaces for meetings and private dining, from the prestige of the Refuge Assurance Directors’ rooms to smaller boardroom and classroom spaces in the Clock Tower building. Kimpton Clocktower also includes 270 new loft-style bedrooms and suites and a magnificent, triple-height lobby. Add to that The Refuge Dining Room, Public Bar, Winter Garden and Den, our 10,000 square-foot restaurant that has become the meeting point for locals from all walks of life.
