All you need to know
The Stock Exchange Hotel, bearing the name of its former life as the Manchester Stock Exchange, is a testament to some of the finest architectural designs within the city.
The hotel’s Edwardian Baroque style, featuring original marble, brass, and handcrafted woodwork, is a compelling reason to consider a stay in this historical building.
With 40 tastefully decorated rooms, this hotel caters to groups of varying sizes. Each room offers stylish furniture, internet connectivity, Nespresso machines, and flat-screen televisions.
However, it’s the Executive Suites that steal the show with smart TVs, minibars, and standalone bathtubs. The most grandiose accommodation is the penthouse residence on the top floor. It boasts skylights, a rooftop terrace and offers breathtaking city views.
Within the hotel resides The Bull and Bear, a restaurant led by chef Tom Kerridge. Nestled beneath the hotel’s striking domed ceiling, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, offering a fusion of elegance and accessibility with traditional British cuisine.
Additionally, guests have the option to dine at The Vault and The Bank, but these are reserved for private dining experiences.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable throughout my visit. From the moment I arrived, they made me feel welcome and were always available to help with any requests. The location is perfect—close to major restaurants, and shopping areas, making it easy to explore the city.

We will 100% be booking with the stock exchange again. Thank you to the wonderful staff.
The staff could not do enough for us, so attentive and helpful all the time. They would order taxis for us, collect food that we’d had ordered to the room and made lovely conversation with us every time we saw them. My husband is on crutches at the moment after having an operation and they did everything they could to assist him into the car, lift etc. just fabulous service! Obviously the location and hotel was stunning, the suite we were in was beautiful and clean, the cleaners couldn’t come in one day as my husband was taking a nap so they made an effort to come that evening instead.
NOTHING!

Best customer service we’ve ever experienced at a hotel, we will absolutely be back.
The staff were superb, in particular Dan, the concierge on duty when we checked in. His knowledge of the history of the building was excellent and he absolutely helped to enhance our experience.
I can’t comment here, simply because everything was excellent.

Shower door opens & bangs directly in to the toilet basin, accident waiting to happen
A bit noisey

Great potential but a bit amateurish
Architecture and location
Cold upon arrival. Black Mould in the shower, on the silicone seal (something you wouldn’t expect in a property so new). Restaurant service is well below the expected standard (having to retake orders when they realised they’d missed 2 of the groups dinners). Plenty of waiters but lack of co-ordination and orders took ages to prepare.

Perfect location for visitors
Perfect location for visiting Manchester. Warm welcome on arrival, staff very friendly and room was perfect for our stay.
My partner abstains from alcohol. A glass of champagne was half poured before we had the opportunity to politely decline. When I asked if a soft drink was possible instead, this was kindly organised. Not everyone drinks alcohol...for varying reasons. Giving an option of something other than alcohol is just a little tweak that could make arrival more comfortable.

Exceptional stay!
Location was amazing. Welcome at hotel was really special. Decor was incredible. Room was great and decor in the breakfast/dining area was absolutely beautiful. So lovely to see history preserved in some way. All staff members were excellent and so helpful. A pity we were only there for one night!

Good place...slightly over priced for what it is
Comfortable
Charged additional fees for slight late checkout without being informed...Also no restaurant on Monday & Tuesday... Only breakfast and small menu...which is a ley down for a 5 star hotel.

Best break away for our anniversary. Highly recommend for people looking for something a little special.
The whole look and feel of the place was luxurious. The staff were so lovely and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The food in Tender was excellent. Well worth it. We came away for our 30th anniversary so wanted something special and this hotel did not disappoint. Looking forward to returning in the future.
Nothing. Everything was perfect.

The hotel has been completely renovated. Staff was first class, the room was spotless, really comfy bed, huge shower. It is within walking distance from town centre, the Cathedral and not so far from Piccadilly railway station. Highly recommended.

Lovely weekend
Location, beautifully restored. Very efficient staff.
Not as much room for clothing or cases as expected in a king room.
