Delegates can book independently, direct with hotels or guest houses using any of the main online booking sites such as booking.com or Expedia but we would strongly recommend selecting city centre accommodation which is a convenient distance from the Kimpton Clocktower Hotel, Manchester.
The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel sits in the centre of Manchester, with easy access to all air, rail and road links. If you’re driving, the hotel is close to all major Northwest motorways and Manchester Airport. It is also within easy walking distance of Oxford Road and Manchester Piccadilly railway stations, Oxford Road Bus Station, and the Manchester tram system.

Find your way
Kimpton Clocktower Hotel is an ideal base for exploring Manchester—and really taking a deep dive into a city rife with history. Whether you’re looking to ogle the Gothic architecture of the Manchester Cathedral, lounge over drinks at The Gas Lamp on Bridge Street, or meet friends to browse the food stalls at Mackie Mayor, you’ll never be far from where you need to go. Our address is located right by the historic museums and attractions of the City Centre; the bohemian shops and galleries of the Northern Quarter; and Piccadilly Station, with direct trains to London, Edinburgh, and beyond.
