The boutique hotel, located on the city centre’s King Street, won the title of Luxury City Hotel in the regional category of the Luxury Hotel Awards 2022. It is one of just 10 UK hotels to make the list, which includes the best upmarket resorts, spas and hotels from all over the world.

Hotel Gotham occupies the former Midland Bank, a listed art-deco building built in 1928. It has 60 rooms – including five premium Inner Sanctum Suites – as well as the Honey restaurant, and digital beauty concierge for booking all kinds of treatments.

Catering for the high-rollers, it is also home to a private members’ club, where annual membership starts at £750, and a private members’ supercar club. The cheapest day rate currently ranges from £160 to £600, according to the hotel’s website.

And it has previously been used as a filming location for popular BBC TV show Peaky Blinders.
