- The Scene:
The former home of Midlans Bank, Edwin Lutyens designed the site at 100 King Street in 1928, with construction finishing in 1935. It has since been painstakingly restored and transformed from its previous banking life into the handsome 60-room Hotel Gotham. The Art Deco, in a ‘neoclassical style’, building features Lutyens’ ingenious calculations, with the top stage two-thirds the middle stage, which in turn is two-thirds the bottom.
The architecture of the ‘King of King Street’ provided natural inspiration for the nostalgic yet decadent design direction. The layout of the bedrooms feature wonderful travel trunk-style cocktail cabinets and wardrobes, while guests are met with burnished metals teamed with dark polished woods and luxurious leather, coupled with feminine notes of plum and raspberry; while soft velvet and faux fur are used liberally. Subtle references are made to the banking past with moneybag style laundry bags and ingot toiletry displays.
- Design:
- Internal restoration has been extensive, and includes the reincarnation of the main staircase, the brass handrail, its balustrades, mouldings and terrazzo flooring. The Art Deco influence can be seen in the striking bespoke geometric carpets running throughout the corridors & bedrooms. Beautifully rich wall finishes of metal, wood, leather and ceramic are used extensively and provide a richness and decadence that evoke emotions and moods of the past.
- Standout Venue Features:
The finished hotel is set over seven floors, each with wonderful views across Manchester. Having entered via a secretively brass elevators, guests arrive at reception and find Honey Restaurant also located on the 6th floor, with a striking club bar on the 7th, boasting panoramic views of the Manchester skyline from its four individual terrace areas.
