Discover Iconic Destinations for Wedding at The Rex

The Rex occupies a former bank on Manchester’s King Street, providing an opportunity to transform any event into an experience. This landmark hotel is a Grade II listed building and a piece of the city’s architectural history, which gives every event a sense of importance. The various spaces throughout the hotel are moments to impress, whether that’s the intimacy of the original bank vaults, the elegance of the roof terraces with sensational skyline city views, or the curiosity that comes as you discover the hidden spaces. Each event will be entirely bespoke, allowing guests to add to the legacy and rich history of the hotel. 

Intimate spaces & exclusive dining 

For intimate dining and exclusive use, guests can enjoy Strongroom, a discreet and versatile private dining space, centred around a full-size snooker table. Set behind original vault doors, two levels down, Strongroom offers guests complete seclusion and a space that they can adapt to their needs, ideal for hosting intimate dinners.  For those occasions that deserve something a little more special, The Rex has an elegant private dining room within Reign, welcoming 12 to 28 guests. Overlooking the iconic King Street and Spring Gardens, it's an intimate setting where memorable moments unfold. Whether it's a milestone celebration, an exclusive dinner, or a stylish private event, the 2 AA Rosette-awarded restaurant provides a refined yet adaptable backdrop, with bespoke dining experiences tailored to every occasion.  

Skyline views 

Reserve crowns The Rex from the hotel’s seventh floor, hidden behind striking vault-like doors and unfolding across three elegant wings, each with its own outdoor terrace with sweeping views across Manchester’s skyline. A rarity in the city, these elevated outdoor spaces create an unforgettable backdrop for private events, from intimate celebrations and stylish receptions to networking evenings and exclusive gatherings. By day, Reserve is the perfect setting for relaxed coffees and business lunches; by night, it transforms into a destination for sunset cocktails, conversation and memorable occasions above the city. 

Discover secret spaces behind former bank vaults 

Hidden within the former vaults underneath 100 King Street, guests will discover Treasury, a uniquely versatile and dramatic venue, designed to create unforgettable experiences. This immersive space oozes character and provides an exceptional venue for parties and celebrations. The unique heritage of the building meets contemporary sophistication and encourages guests to uncover hidden stories and unexpected moments

Weddings 

Perfectly positioned in the heart of the city, just moments from Manchester Town Hall and the Registry Office, The Rex provides an elegant setting for both ceremonies and celebrations between 10 and 140 guests. Start the day with champagne and canapés on the terrace overlooking the city, gather for an intimate wedding breakfast in Reign, then continue the celebrations into the evening with drinks and dancing in Treasury. With 60 bedrooms on site, there's no need for the occasion to end when the music does. 

The Royal Service 

Throughout every stage of planning and delivery, guests benefit from highly personalised service, ensuring every event or wedding receives the attention, discretion and care expected of a luxury destination. The result from this royal service is an experience where hosts can focus on their guests while The Rex takes care of every detail behind the scenes. 

Jenny Oh, General Manager of The Rex comments, “Today’s wedding and event planners are looking for more than simply a space. They need character, comfort, and connection that people cherish. At The Tex, our team will treat each event as a royal affair, with discreet but highly personalised service allowing every celebration to have its own identity. An event that combines heritage and luxury becomes more than an occasion, but an experience in a setting that guests won’t find anywhere else in Manchester.”
