Historic boutique hotel by Manchester Cathedral...

Mitre Hotel was built in 1815 it has witnessed many events in this and is the oldest area of Manchester.

The name of the hotel has an obvious connection with the Cathedral and its original name of the "Old Church Tavern" is also indicative of this.

Further connected with the Cathedral and the hotel is the probable existence of a secret tunnel between the church and a small underground chapel near to St. Anne's Square, part of this tunnel was under the Mitre Hotel.

The fortunes of war are associated with this location with two memorable events. The first of these occurred on the 29th November 1745 when Prince Charles Edward Stuart accompanied by several thousand tartan-clad and bagpipe-clutching soldiers invaded Manchester. The Prince reviewed his ill-fated troops directly on the side of the Mitre Hotel.

The second invasion Manchester had to face was on the night of 23rd December 1940, when an air raid destroyed part of the Cathedral and almost all of the old Market Place. The Mitre Hotel, which lies between these locations, only suffered shattered windows and a few displaced roof-slates.

In 1996, The Mitre Hotel was partly damaged by the IRA bomb, which destroyed the main shopping area, where now Selfridges and Harvey Nicholls stores have been constructed as part of a rejuvenation plan for this part of Manchester and the hotel underwent major reconstruction.

Former proprietors of the hotel have included an ex-acrobat in the person of John Whitehead in 1817 and it is recorded that given an encouraging audience and sufficient refreshment, he would attempt to demonstrate his precarious skills in the bar. It would be as well if the guestsdid not ask the present proprietor to re-live history

Wits its long history and excellent facilities, the hotel waits for you to experience the elegance.
