BEETHAM TOWER | CLOUD 23 BAR | MANCHESTER

Cloud 23, 303 Deansgate, Manchester M3 4LQ

Think of a luxuriant bar and restaurant soaring up in the lofty heights at the very top of the Manchester city centre skyline. Believe it or not, it is entirely possible to sip elegant cocktails with swirling clouds literally at your fingertips – albeit with one very safe sheet of panoramic glass between you and 168 metres skywards.

From the swish escorted elevator taking you at speed to Cloud 23, your very arrival at the Beetham Tower on Deansgate is a neck jarring experience. As the tallest building outside London, its very presence is disarming.

Home to the Hilton Hotel for its first 22 floors, Cloud 23 takes over the 23rd floor of the Beetham Tower with the remainder of the skyscraper’s 47 floors home to the discerning residents who are happy to blow the budget.

Its neo-modern style was integral in the city’s regeneration since the devastation of the 1996 bombings which proved a turning point for Manchester.

But as this stunning 150million pound building sits proudly right here in the heart of Manchester, visitors and influential city dwellers flock to Cloud 23 for its chilled atmosphere and relaxing vibe.

Visible from ten UK counties, this iconic structure has welcomed more than its fair share of celebrities and movie stars.

Named after ancient Greek Gods and following in the footsteps of Apollo 23 with their position in the heavens, Cloud 23 is influenced by the Gods of the sky. It’s smart, stylish interior is decadence itself and for those who enjoy the finer things in life, you won’t be disappointed.

From a delectable afternoon tea complete with champagne to a cocktail masterclass, Cloud 23’s infamous mixologists invite you to sample weird and wonderful beverages like Dalton’s Atomic Experiment as you survey the north-west skyline.

For the discerning drinkers looking for a sparkling day out in the dizzy heights, treat yourself to Cloud 23’s ‘Bourgeois Bubbles and Dreams’ for around £550. With 2 magnums of Bollinger Brut and 20 cocktails, you and your guests are assured of a very personal service where you can sit back and have the world at your feet.
