Stock Exchange Hotel

Ian Jones, Food and Drink Editor
Stock Exchange

The Stock Exchange Hotel takes over a renovated Edwardian building on Norfolk Street later this year. It’s a brand new luxury hotel courtesy of Manchester United footballers Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville’s GG Hospitality firm, but most exciting of all, the celebrated British chef Tom Kerridge who has launched his first restaurant in Manchester here. He takes over from Michael O’Hare, of Urbis restaurant Rabbit in the Moon, who parted ways with Giggs and Neville last year.
