Another wonderful stay at The Hotel Gotham. This is my favourite Hotel in Manchester.
From the moment you step through the door you just never want to leave. You are always greeted and checked in with a cheerful smile. I have stayed at the hotel numerous times and I just keep going back I love it so much.
A lovely welcoming touch in the room was a dessert platter board with scrumptious cakes, macarons, chocolate dipped strawberries and fresh berries on. It looked beautiful and was such a lovely treat.
We stayed in one of The Bank Managers Suite. With stunning decor, a brass roll top bath tub, en suite shower room and an Emperor sized double bed with Egyptian cotton bed linen and a fake fur throw over, wow, just beautiful.
The rooms also come equipped with a mini bar, free WiFi, espresso machine, flat screen TV, desk and chair, tea and coffee facilities and the best Piggy biscuits. These rooms certainly have the WOW factor and that deep bath tub, so relaxing, I just didn’t want to get out of it, it was Heaven.
We had a late checkout booked so we had a lazy morning in our room and had breakfast delivered to the room. The large selection choice of breakfast was delicious and the Full English Breakfast & Pancakes were perfect and cooked to perfection.
After our late check out we had Afternoon Tea in The Honey Restaurant. We had a window view, with views across the city and the food and service was excellent . Voted one of the Best Afternoon Teas in Manchester and I can certainly vouch for that. It was Amazing.
We had the most relaxing and comfortable nights sleep ever and an enjoyable relaxing stay. The hotel is spotlessly clean everywhere. The staff here are lovely, friendly and helpful and can’t do enough for you. If you are looking to stay in Manchester, then Hotel Gotham has got to be at the top of your list. It’s in the perfect location close to Restaurants, Shops and Bars. It is The BEST. Can’t wait to go back.
The room had two lovely cosy stylish chairs by the window. Perfect for relaxing and admiring the stunning views across Windermere.
The room was well equipped with a Tv, iron, ironing board, hairdryer, bath robes, toiletries, bottled water and tea and coffee facilities and cookies too. There was plenty of storage for clothes also .
Before Dinner we popped into the the bar for some cocktails. There was a lovely atmosphere in there.
This is a lovely hotel in a great location, and very reasonable priced. We had a very comfortable nights sleep. The room was so quiet. The decor is beautiful. If you are visiting the lovely city of Manchester I would definitely recommend staying here. I’d say it’s up at the top with the best hotels in Manchester. Cannot wait to return.
When we had finished the canapés we were taken inside to the dining room to be seated by the window. The view whilst sat dining was stunning.
For my Main course I opted for the spring Lamb, sweetbread ,parsley, quinoa, carrot and pea. The vegetables were seasoned well The lamb was cooked perfect, slightly pink. It was lovely and succulent but I would of liked it to of tasted a bit richer if I’m honest. It was nice but did lack the wow flavour factor for me.
My husband opted for the Halibut, braised onion, chicken wing and wild mushroom. The halibut was cooked perfect. It was fresh and fell into big flake pieces when cut, the creamy sauce had a lovely seasoning and went well with the fish.
Dessert: I chose the white chocolate , tarragon , strawberries and meringue, the meringue had a light and chewy texture and the flavours from the strawberries and the sorbet were lovely and sweet , It also had a minty taste to it too. Think it must of been the green decoration dressing, I was dying to lick the plate it tasted that good.
All in all, I would recommend this amazing restaurant. It’s in a beautiful location with stunning views. The staff make you very welcome. Service was quick. Every dish was presented to a high standard, and all dishes were full of delicious flavours. The Al A Carte menu is available at £72 per head for a 3 course. And there is a £35 wine flight per person. Which is a very reasonable price for the Lake District. If you are ever visiting in the Lake District this is the perfect hotel for a wonderful dining experience or even staying at the hotel. I will defiantly be returning.
One of my favourite restaurants has to be Tattu. Located in Gartside Street, Spinningfields , the restaurant’s menu embraces traditional Asian flavours and contemporary Chinese cuisine using flavour combinations and stunning presentation served in exquisite surroundings. Which create an exciting dining experience . We have been a few times and have been very lucky to sit under the stunning cherry blossom trees which stand in the middle of the restaurant. I always have the caramel soy beef with shiitake and asparagus with rice, the beef is always so so tender, and the caramel sauce you get to dip the beef in is incredible, the flavours are amazing. My husband had the Sweet and Sour Iberico. Pineapple, banana shallots and dragon fruit with chilli rice. Yum yum. For my dessert I had my favourite the smoking Cherry Blossom dessert. chocolate mousse, cherry and candy floss. My husband opted for the Asian pear crumble dessert, green apple almond and pink custard. Tattu also do amazing cocktails. My favourite and a must if you go there is Skull Candy. It’s a smoking cocktail which comes in a lovely skull shaped glass with vodka, bubblegum and strawberry. I could drink these all night lol. If your looking for somewhere to eat with the wow factor with amazing tasty food with outstanding presentation then you will not be disappointed with Tattu 10/10 from me.
