The Gotham Manchester

Planning a hen getaway to Manchester and want somewhere funky and with character to use as a base? We've found the perfect digs for you. Resurrected from its former life as a branch of Midland Bank, The Gotham is one of the beacons of the new, modern Manchester.

Bedrooms are smartly dressed in pale grey, leather and so-hot-right-now chevron with pops of colour coming from the suede furnishings. Meanwhile props such as bank loot bags, vintage suitcases and antique binoculars keep the feel of this boutique hotel playful yet polished.

The mix of themes – banking, Batman and bandits – add to the pleasure of spending a night here but it’s the original features of the bank, such as the heavy doors, grand staircase and huge windows that prevent The Gotham from becoming gimmicky.

So prepare the Batmobile, signal your hens and head to Gotham Manchester for (dark) Knights to remember.
