Stock Exchange Hotel can be hired exclusively, with all of its bedrooms and its restaurant on the restored trading floor, or you can book The Bank, a private room for up to 14 guests. It is a boutique hotel at 4 Norfolk Street in central Manchester, set in the former home of the Manchester Stock Exchange, a Grade II listed building.
Seminars and company events
The Bank is the hotel's intimate space for corporate breakfasts, celebrations and bespoke gatherings of up to 14 guests, and the hotel describes it as a versatile meeting space as well as a dining room. It also hosts corporate afternoon tea for small groups, which the hotel suggests for business meetings, networking and retirement celebrations. For a larger corporate dinner or reception, the restaurant can be reserved in full, and the hotel can be taken over so that colleagues stay and meet in one place.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel presents weddings as intimate celebrations or full takeovers. A ceremony can be followed by a private dinner and a celebration that continues late into the evening, with a champagne and canapé reception, a dinner with paired wines and entertainment, all on the original trading floor, which has been restored and serves as the restaurant. Guests retire to suites in the same building. Ask the events team to confirm whether a civil ceremony can take place on site.
Rooms and capacities
Three settings are published. The Bank takes up to 14 guests for lunch or dinner and offers live cooking by a private chef. The tender restaurant, on the trading floor, can be fully reserved for large dinner parties and receptions, although its capacity is not published. An exclusive hire adds the whole hotel. Drinks receptions can be served with canapés and bowl food.
Accommodation
The hotel offers 40 bedrooms and suites on its exclusive hire page, while its weddings page refers to 39 rooms and suites, so confirm the number when you enquire. With the hotel exclusively yours, all of your guests can sleep in the building.
Catering
Food is a strong point. The tender restaurant is led by chef Niall Keating and serves contemporary British and international cuisine, with set menus for parties and festive menus for lunch and dinner. At The Bank, a private chef cooks in front of guests. Wine pairings are offered, chosen by the hotel's sommelier, and bespoke menus can be discussed with the team. Flowers are supplied by the host.
History and setting
The building was the home of the Manchester Stock Exchange. The hotel states that its design pays homage to the history of the listed building, and the restaurant occupies the original trading floor.
Getting there
The hotel is on Norfolk Street, between Market Street and King Street, in the heart of central Manchester. Send requests to the events and private dining team by email or phone.
