Located in the centre of the Manchester, this 5 star hotel has 18 fully equipped meeting rooms and a spectacular event room that can accommodate as many as 550 guests for various types of functions, from weddings, fashion shows, launch parties to seminars and exhibitions.
Built in 1853 to commemorate the repeal of the Corn Laws, the Free Trade Hall has been at the centre of life in Manchester for almost 160 years.
The building has been bombed, abandoned, rebuilt several times and seen much controversy.
It has also enjoyed many lives – a political arena, concert hall and rock venue with a most diverse range of famous people appearing on stage - Winston Churchill (hailed as his most brilliant speech), Bob Dylan (first electric gig), Pink Floyd (Dark Side of the Moon premiered), the Sex Pistols (started the Punk era) and the Dalai Lama (the last speaker).
Finally, it was reborn in 2004 as a magnificent 263 bedroom hotel, award winning restaurant and must visit spa. It retains its original façade, heritage and famous artefacts plus it is still at the heart of Manchester life.
