Hotel Review
King Street Townhouse, Manchester
Offering a winning combination of luxury, comfort and style, King Street Townhouse is a 40-room boutique retreat in Manchester's city centre. Relaxation is key here, whether you're wallowing in its infinity spa-pool which overlooks the Town Hall's clock tower, soaking in a freestanding tub in your chic bedroom, or indulging in afternoon tea in the lounge. While children are welcome, the hotel feels like a grown-up hideaway, with tasteful décor sourced by former owner Sally O'Loughlin, and plenty of places to people-watch or read a book. Bedrooms are all unique but share the same thoughtful luxuries, such as extremely comfortable beds, ESPA toiletries and Nespresso machines.

Rooms
Two suites have floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the Town Hall. Squeezed between these is an entry-level Snug with the same view for a snip of the price. The décor in the bathrooms is as thoughtful as that in the rooms themselves, with King Street Townhouse branded taps and tasteful tiles.
