Book now

A converted Victorian school house nestled on the edge of Spinningfields, the Great John Street Hotel has perhaps the biggest terrace in Manchester, with its Roof Garden Playground offering one of the best views across the city. The atmosphere is relaxed and decadent, with large lanterns littering the floor and clusters of cocoon shaped wicker seats. A full food menu is available alongside an extensive cocktail menu – the apple mojito is particularly refreshing if you’re looking for something summery. Book ahead where possible, as weddings and parties take over during summer weekends.
