"Modern-day Manchester isn’t known for top-flight luxury, but King Street Townhouse is the exception. A stately 19th-century building topped by a modern addition, it cuts an imposing figure. But what’s within is intimate in scale — its 40 rooms and suites place it squarely in luxury boutique territory. The King Street Tavern is a more elevated experience than the word “tavern” suggests, and there’s space here not only for an ESPA spa, but the world’s only ESPA Suite, complete with bath butler and Beauty Mini Bar, as well." - Tablet Hotels
