A Multisensory Experience

Gotham is presented as a plush hotel, with an exclusive club bar and a fabulous dining venue. It can be an escape, a multisensory experience, and above all, a place to have fun.

Our Old Fire and Police Station

Our story begins on Pilgrim Street, where Hotel Gotham now stands. Once the old fire station, police station and magistrates’ court, the Grade II listed building was designed by Cackett, Burns Dick & Mackellar and was built in 1931-1933.

Behind the scenes

Hotel Gotham naturally draws attention to itself. It hit the national news in 2010 when it was alleged that safe deposit boxes containing jewellery and gold, not to mention master tapes from Joy Division and New Order recording sessions, were found on the site. Gotham was always going to be unpredictable and make a statement. It was always going to be a unique experience, a spectacular destination, with a taste for the theatrical. This is why we wanted to bring it to the Manchester Stage. At Gotham, we believe that luxury is as important as location and history. We believe style should complement substance, and we are not too taken by the idea of compromise. We don’t see Gotham as your average hotel. From day one it was always going to be special. As Foo Foo Lammar once said ‘If you’re a star, why not twinkle.’
