Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, in Manchester, is proud to announce that it has been named one of the UK's top hotels in the Condé Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards 2021.

More than 800,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted responses rating their travel experiences across the globe, to provide a full snapshot about the places they can't wait to return to next. The Readers' Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry.

Johan Scheepers, General Manager, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel said: “It is an honour to be named among the top hotels in the UK by Condé Nast Traveler. Thank you to our guests who have stayed and voted for us. It is a great recognition of our dedicated team at Kimpton Clocktower. We will continue to offer a real 'wow' factor stay with a warm and heartfelt Mancunian welcome.” 

Opened in October 2020, Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is part of the leading global luxury brand IHG® Hotels & Resorts, joining the brand's Kimpton Fitzroy London Hotel, Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel in Glasgow and Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel in Edinburgh as the brand's fourth hotel to open in the UK. All the sister hotels in the UK have also been named as best hotels in the UK by the Readers' Choice Awards.

Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is a magnificent, terracotta Grade II listed building with a history dating back to 1890, when it first opened as The Refuge Assurance Company headquarters. The grand clock tower at the centre of its striking Victorian architecture is an unmistakable landmark on Manchester's skyline. All 270 loft-style bedrooms, including 11 suites, were designed to make the most of the stunning, double and triple-height ceilings. Other original, period features including glazed bricks, tiles and faience, stained glass and carved wooden staircases, meet contemporary fittings and interiors, including a three-metre-tall bronze horse by artist Sophie Dickens which sits in the lobby. The piece denotes a horse-and-carriage 'turning circle' that once stood on the spot.
