PB hotel design editorial

The Grade II-listed former Midland Bank building on King Street — one of Manchester's most distinguished Edwardian Baroque facades, its Portland stone elevation carved with beehive crests and elaborate cartouches visible above the original panelled mahogany entrance doors — gave Hotel Gotham both its identity and its name when it converted to hotel use in 2015. Designed by Edwin Lutyens's contemporary Richard Knill Freeman and completed in 1902, the building carries all the civic confidence of Edwardian commercial Manchester, its rusticated stonework and arched entrance archway now leading into something considerably darker in atmosphere. Squid Inc handled the interiors, translating the property's forty-plus rooms across its upper floors into a palette that draws on 1930s New York as much as Manchester's own mercantile past. Inside, the design vocabulary shifts decisively from the building's institutional gravity. Bedrooms are fitted with floor-to-ceiling black-and-white chevron carpets, deep-buttoned black leather headboards, faux-fur throws, and purple velvet tub chairs — a knowing, slightly theatrical glamour that suits the Gotham name without tipping into pastiche. Brass pendant desk lamps and chain-hung circular mirrors in aged gold continue the 1930s reference. The reception desk, surfaced in burnished brass sheet set against dark shelving lined with curiosities and vintage luggage, sharpens the mood further. The bar, lined in tufted tan leather banquettes, blackened steel-framed internal windows, and bare filament pendant lights, has the atmosphere of a private members' club operating somewhere just outside conventional time.

About

"The room is most definitely a showstopper, there's certainly no doubting the attention to detail that has gone into bringing this new Art Deco-themed venue to life in the former bank building at the top of King Street. It offers something you can't currently find on the Manchester scene with such extravagant and quirkily-themed interiors." Manchester Evening News

"My partner booked me a room at Hotel Gotham as a treat and first solo trip away without our newborn, but sadly I couldn’t relax as the room felt dirty and uncomfortable. As soon as I entered the room the discolouration of the carpet stood out to me as well as the dirty windows, and I was hit with the smells of drains. The bathroom smelled so bad and it had take over the whole room, i had to keep the bathroom door shut at all times to try to keep it at bay! The fur throw on the bed looked gross and probably had all sorts growing in it! The pillows were hard and a very uncomfortable height, ended up waking up with a stiff neck. The shower head was broken and it couldn’t be adjusted to a higher height. There was no room service menu in the room, yet they had condoms and sex toys in the mini bar…very strange priorities. Location is good and staff were friendly but the hotel itself was seeming really run down and seedy. Wouldn’t stay again, there are so many beautiful hotels in Manchester now and probably for a similar price."

"Nice hotel, nice aesthetic externally / internally. Easy to navigate easy check in and find your way around quickly. Rooftop bar for a decent cocktail, bar staff very good. Room service drink and food order arrived quickly and was pretty decent. Only gripe service charge on absolutely everything & everything is for sale from binoculars to Gotham cups, I get its business at the end of the day but takes away a bit exclusivity in my eyes. Would stay again regardless"

"Themed hotel, breakfast was nice and staff we very good at breakfast, bar on top floor had bland food and took ages to arrive, would not eat there again, nice rooms, little bit tired, great location, worth it at £200-250 a room but i wouldnt pay more, there are better luxury hotels in Manchester, id also recommend you eat somewhere else unless its breakfast as its really not good at all."
