Feel the historic charm of Manchester at Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, with its grand Victorian facade. A landmark of luxury, steps from the Palace Theatre, our hotel is surrounded by vibrant eateries, quirky cocktail bars, galleries, museums, and music venues.From check-in to check-out, every interaction is warm yet fluff-free, making our Manchester hotel a draw for international travellers and locals alike. Don’t miss The Refuge, our in-house restaurant and bar, offering a unique blend of global flavours in a stunning setting. Our passion for authenticity ensures genuine service from check-in to check-out.
Nestled between the Public Bar and Dining Room is The Winter Garden, where we’ve brought the outside in.
With no airs or graces, the Public Bar is the beating heart of The Refuge. Coffee and co-working in the morning, board games after lunch, and cocktails and craft ales into the early hours. Our resident DJs curate the experience Thursday through to Saturday with an eclectic mix of jazz, swing, funk, soul and house.
Settle into a comfortable chair, lean back, and browse the selection of gins in the Winter Garden, the leafy heart of Kimpton Clocktower Hotel’s distinctive dining spaces. Every detail—from the furniture to the lively green colour scheme—has been thoughtfully considered. If you happen to be around on a Saturday or Sunday, kick off the weekend—or help lift the weight of the night before—with a Bloody Mary (even a virgin one).
