The Refuge

The building that houses The Refuge, and now Kimpton Clocktower Hotel has been a Manchester landmark dating back to 1895, when it first opened as The Refuge Assurance Company’s headquarters.


The magnificent terracotta Grade II-listed building has stood the test of time and was restored to its former glory in September 2016 – when after a huge refurbishment and hotel rebrand - The Refuge opened it's doors to the city.


In November of 2016, it was also the place where we would meet, making it the ONLY choice for both our wedding ceremony, and celebration.
