The Palace Hotel, Manchester
The Palace Hotel is a grade II listed building dating back to the late 19th century. It is one of the most distinguished buildings in Manchester, partly due to its terracotta façade and partly because of its enormous clock tower. The Palace Hotel is located in the centre of Manchester, next to Oxford Street Station and within walking distance of all of the city’s prime attractions, including the theatre district. The hotel has recently undergone a modern restyling that is most attractively demonstrated in the hotel’s grand theatre, which has the ability to seat up to 1000 delegates.

A relaxing spot for a weekend away, Wotton House is home to The Club, a comprehensive fitness centre comprising of a gym, aerobics studio, whirlpool, sauna and steam facilities, and a heated indoor swimming pool. The atmospheric driveway up to the main entrance and the period nature of the building also makes Wotton House a beautiful backdrop for wedding celebrations.
