Manchester’s beautiful King Street Townhouse hotel has turned into a festive paradise

King Street Townhouse is far and away one of the best and most beautiful hotels in Manchester, and it gets even more magical at this time of year. 

The boutique hotel in the heart of the city centre, right by Albert Square, has been decked out with twinkling lights and a huge tree ready for the festive season. 

And there are loads of reasons to pop in to King Street Townhouse this winter, even if you’re not staying overnight in its stunning hotel rooms. 

There’s a seasonal twist on its legendary afternoon tea, which features playful and nostalgic twists on classics like a Baileys eclair, a cranberry scone, and a spiced winter berry and white chocolate cake that’s topped with a tiny gingerbread man. 

There’s also a festive high tea, which features mini turkey and cranberry burgers and sage, onion and chestnut sausage rolls.

After work, you can pop in to King Street Townhouse to unwind with their festive cocktails and bar snacks, including classic winter drinks like mulled wine and hot toddys, but also a Mrs Claus (rose liqueur, Tanqueray gin, cranberry juice and milk), Campfire Mule (whiskey, lime, maple syrup and ginger beer) and Winter Wonder (vodka, apple juice, elderflower, egg white, cinnamon syrup and nutmeg). 

And the hotel’s stunning rooftop South Terrace is open for drinks throughout November and December as it transforms into a Festive Cocktail Bar. 

There’ll be live music on 1, 8 and 15 December, with performances setting the soundtrack to your festive evening. 

There’s a full winter lunch menu that’s perfect for work lunches or catching up with friends, featuring dishes like steak sandwiches, beef and bone marrow burgers, Caesar salads and brown crab hand-rolled cavatelli.

And for snacks while you’re enjoying the festive atmosphere, there are delights like Pollen sourdough and focaccia, savoury bread pudding with goat’s cheese, and Cobble Lane charcuterie. 

For the best celebration of the season, round up your loved ones for a night in the King Street Tavern, which has its classic British fare on offer with a little seasonal flare.

Hand raised game pie, stuffed cornfed chicken, and Lyme Park venison, plus a full grill menu and delicious desserts like carrot cake and a baked apple and almond tart.
