I absolutely loved this hotel. It's located in the heart of Manchester just across from the Palace theatre, with loads of bars and restaurants close by. The interior decor is amazing. The hotel is located in a building that was owned by a life insurance firm and the designers have preserved much of the old interiors whilst complimenting with new features. It's a fabulous mixture of industrial chic, modern cool designs and comfort. Lots of double height rooms with original tiles and colonnades. The bar and dining areas are breath-taking. Breakfast was delicious. Staff at reception, in the bar and dining areas were so helpful and friendly. There are complimentary snacks in the room and the toiletries are fab. I've just spent 2 weeks travelling around Europe and nowhere I stayed matched this place. You need to visit this hotel once in your life.
Nothing. It was amazing.

Poor
Love the Kimpton. Stayed about 5 times. This room(424) was really by far the poorest I have experienced.!
No light. No opening windows. Air conditioning noisy and unable to turn it off. Seemed to be at end of hotel quality service. (Lack of tea bags and so on). If I return would ask to be in(rooms100s thro 300s. Disappointing!.
