Fact Check: Did Soho House Open in Manchester, Nh or the United Kingdom?
The club that generated the international headlines sits thousands of miles away in northwest England. Located at the heart of the St John's creative district, Soho House Manchester occupies the revitalized Old Granada Studios site on Atherton Street. The multi-level property includes an Italian restaurant, an expansive rooftop swimming pool, wellness facilities, and private work spaces styled with industrial mid-century finishes.
Writing for The Daily Telegraph, hotel critic Mark C. O'Flaherty highlighted the club's warm reception, reporting that the property blends northern hospitality with signature design details.
