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.

The hotel was very well presented, and the fragrant smell within the lobby was a nice touch. The blackout blinds in our room were fantastic, and the bed was soooo comfy

An amazing few days with lovely friends made even more special by staying in such an exceptional hotel.
The building is beautiful, the attention to detail exceptional, the location perfect and the staff so so lovely; very friendly, attentive; the service is some of the best I’ve had at a hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very spacious. Would definitely recommend.
There was nothing that I didn’t like.

A special hotel
Every member of staff we encountered was wonderful - really exceptional
Early morning (ie 7am) external noise. Yes, it’s a city centre location, but the sound proofing is poor and leads to a rude awakening!

10/10 would recommend and would love to come back!
It was our first time staying at the Stock Exchange and I wanted to book a nice place to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday - the staff welcomed us upon our arrival and took our car to the private parking area, we were offered complimentary champagne and walked up to our room by a nice gentlemen named Nigel who told us about the heritage of the hotel! We stayed in the suite with a terrace and was blown away by the amenities! Lovely staff, lovely environment and such an amazing experience!
We ordered dinner the first night and I was a bit disappointed with the room service, particularly the steak but the rest of the food was lovely!

My bathroom had a drain smell.

The only Hotel you should book for in Manchester!
Beautiful History to the building / hotel. Friendly and attentive staff all around. Cleaning services completed early in the day, including turn down service too. Top-ups of water, coffee, amenities in the bathroom where always available. Spacious rooms. Wonderful speakeasy bar in the hotel as well. Amazing location (dead center of the city)
We tried breakfast once, i wouldn't say i didn't like it, but had higher expectations. A La Carte menu was basic and food was alright - expected more from the breakfast. Nothing at all except for the breakfast part.

Lovely hotel
The decor is beautiful and the staff are so friendly
The pillows were not great and the room we were in had offices and a delivery entrance which was exceptionally noisy very early . Noise from others came through aircon vents so although the room had all these heavy soundproofed doors etc it was not quiet which was a pity
24 October 2024
Excellent!
The hotel is located in the city center and transportation is convenient, it is very quiet, and I slept very well.
If I must offer a suggestion, it would be to have more breakfast options, preferably including some Southeast Asian dishes.

Very good
The only thing was that everyone else was greeted at check in to have a glass of champagne in the sitting room, for some reason we were just given a room key and sent on our way.

I know this is a first world problem but it was just very jarring to be in a beautiful and luxurious hotel but have to use rough toilet paper.

The breakfast was very nice and staff go above and beyond
The rib of beef was sold out which happens regularly

Fabulous
Exceptionally friendly greeting. Offered to sit in the lounge with a glass of champagne as check in carried out. Walked to our room with an informative member of staff explaining the history of the building. Extremely clean and well cared for property.
The shower was open to the main bedroom and not incorporated in the en suite. Odd as it could have been easily incorporated. Room 303.

Beautiful building, exceptional service, outstanding restaurant.
The staff went out of their way to make our stay special for our engagement. They upgraded our room and made us feel so very special. Service was just outstanding and the building and decor is beyond beautiful. We will definitely be back for our anniversary. The restaurant is a must. It is a hidden gem on the Manchester food scene. Just outstanding all around.
No room for improvement. Exceptional.

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
29 August 2024
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.

Beautiful hotel in central location
Absolutely loved the interior design details. The welcome glass of champagne set the right tone on arrival! Our bedroom was spotless - great house keeping. Lovely staff.
