Stock Exchange Hotel

The term hidden gem is taken to the next level with this one. Subtle to the locals, possibly almost invisible if it’s on your ‘walk to work’ route. This Grade II listed building was once The Manchester Stock Exchange, built in 1904 – 1906. This example of Edwardian Baroque architecture has been restored, now holding the name Stock Exchange Hotel. The spirit of the building and the history it holds is seen throughout the interior and exterior.

Now, this perfectly located hotel provides not only a very short walk to Manchester shopping central – Market Street/ King Street – but also the quiet and secluded element you don’t expect to find in such a central area. 

Described as a boutique accommodation, Stock Exchange does not disappoint. The décor carefully reflects the charm of the building’s rich heritage while also being the perfect blend of elegance and contemporary design. The Bradshaw, John Gass and Arthur Hope room collections, a respectful nod to the architects who originally designed the stone building, are all fitted with a range of luxury amenities. A king-size bed, a walk-in shower, blackout curtains and desk working space can be found in all rooms throughout the hotel.

Match your luxury stay with a visit to the hotel’s dining room. Tender, managed by chef Niall Keating, has been carefully designed to merge the Manchester Stock Exchange’s old trading floor into a social space where guests can enjoy quality food of a refined British classic style. After dinner, head down the spiral staircase to the converted bank vault, renovated and crafted into the Sterling Bar, where you can enjoy award-winning cocktails in this speak easy-like blast from the past. 

The mixture of historic Manchester flare and modern-day elegance blend like butter at the Stock Exchange Hotel. Make sure to find it on your next visit to Manchester.
