Stock Exchange Hotel, Manchester

2 Norfolk Street, Manchester, M2 1DW, United Kingdom. (show on map)

The Stock Exchange Hotel in Manchester is a stunning example of Edwardian Baroque architecture, originally built between 1904 and 1906 by architects Bradshaw, Gass & Hope. Once the city’s bustling financial hub, this Grade II listed building was lovingly transformed into a luxury hotel by former Manchester United stars Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs, reopening its doors in 2019.

The hotel’s design beautifully honors its past. The interior, reimagined by the studio Autoban, blends contemporary elegance with historical details like marble pillars, stained glass, and original fireplaces. A particularly fascinating detail is the wallpaper in some areas, which features patterns copied from actual fingerprints found on banknotes discovered in the building’s old vaults.

Dining is a major highlight, with the hotel’s restaurant occupying the grand former trading floor, complete with its original domed ceiling. Guests can enjoy a sophisticated atmosphere that bridges the gap between Manchester’s industrial heritage and modern luxury, with bespoke furnishings designed to subtly mimic the edge of a coin.

Its central location on Norfolk Street makes it a perfect starting point for city exploration. You are just a short walk away from the Royal Exchange Theatre, the beautiful St. Ann’s Square, and the breathtaking Neo-Gothic architecture of the John Rylands Library.

Whether you’re visiting to soak in the history or to enjoy a high-end stay, the hotel sits right in the heart of the action, close to the Manchester Art Gallery and the city’s most iconic cultural landmarks.

Expert reviews

Telegraph review:

“This city centre hotel, housed in Manchester’s former Stock Exchange, shows off its heritage with style. Original features such as marble columns, stained glass and fireplaces sparkle, while an excellent restaurant by chef Tom Kerridge is in pride of place in the building’s magnificent dome, formerly the trading floor.”

Look forward to returning

Fabulous welcome, lovely staff. Beautiful building. Nothing too much trouble , great atmosphere , sophisticated without being pretentious.
Rooms are luxurious and bedding is crisp and inviting.
Stayed in several hotels in Manchester but I think this is one of the best.
Added bonus having some famous footballers at breakfast was a nice treat.

Breakfast little slow but a minor issue.

Boutique hotel in fantastic, quiet yet central location

Brilliant location and superb breakfast, much improved from when we last had breakfast there.

At previous stays around Christmas we got champagne with small mice pie which I thought was a lovely touch.

It really is a 5* that offers a bespoke and luxury stay! Fantastic service.

I love this hotel, this our go to hotel in Manchester. It really is a 5* that offers a bespoke and luxury stay. I love the hotel location, service, rooms and atmosphere. If you prefer a smaller feel hotel, it’s great. Service in bigger 5* hotels in the city can often feel mediocre, but not this one! Can’t wait to return again next year.

Nothing.

I only have positive things to say about this hotel - Absolute first class and great value for money

A really nice welcome, pulled up outside and car was taken away and parked, all luggage placed nicely, hung up in my room. Welcome glass of champagne and first class service - Easily on a par if not better than first class London Hotels.

Nothing at all - A perfect stay.

Perfectly relaxing.its our Oasis away from the stresses of life!

Always a warm welcome with valet parking, and a glass of champagne at check in we feel relaxed from the moment we arrive. The staff are amazing, including in the restaurant & breakfast team. They seem to anticipate a need before you realise it’s there! We also love the Sterling Bar & live music it’s a perfect way to finish the evening. It’s our second stay & we will definitely be back !

Overall a pleasurable stay with outstanding service

The dining area is beautiful and breakfast was exceptionally good. The property is central and very private and quiet,

I did not think it was clear that the Sterling bar was not open on Sunday and Monday. We stayed in an Arthur Hope Room which whilst being adequate in size and facilities was not quite as big as I had anticipated. Very little room between the end of the bed and the dressing table.

Anytime we visit The Stock Exchange, we don't want to leave.

Everything! From the champagne on arrival to the staff putting our bags in the taxi for us. It is so luxurious, yet homely. The beds are like sleeping in a cloud and the breakfast was exceptional. 10/10 can't wait to come back.

The only improvement possible would be a spa in the hotel.
