Soho House Manchester

Soho House Manchester will be the only Soho House private member’s club in the North of England when it opens in 2024. It will incorporate a hotel, an events space, a private members’ gym, an outdoor rooftop pool and bar, casual bar and lounge areas for food and drink, and a private members’ restaurant for more formal dining.

The A-list Soho House experience comes at a price: from £1925 per year with a reduced rate for under 27s. Founder membership is by invitation only so it’s not just about coughing up the fees. Global Soho House membership is also available from £2950 per year which offers access to the 41 Soho Houses worldwide.

Membership includes access to the house with up to three guests, exclusive daily events and gym membership.

Expect laid-back luxury and an artsy, cultured vibe, typical of the Soho House group. It’s likely to be popular with creatives and media types – handy as it’s set over five floors of the former Granada Studios.

Highlights will include the 9th floor late-night bar and live music space overlooking the outdoor pool and the extensive members-only gym which includes a free weight area, a studio space for classes and a steam room and sauna that open on to a balcony.
