Located within the St Michael’s scheme, an iconic 41-storey tower will be home to a 162-bed 5 Star international hotel brand plus 213 luxury residences. The residence will be Manchester’s most prestigious residential building since history. Residents are not simply living but a lifestyle with the best design, craft and fashion. Set to open Q1 2027, W Manchester will bring bold design, distinctive dining and always-on programming to the city as well as signature spaces including the Living Room, WET deck, W Lounge, AWAY Spa and FIT fitness centre.

No.1 St Michael’s comprises nine floors of best-in-class office space and is expected to be the first fully Net Zero Carbon commercial development in the city, both in operation and delivery. St Michael’s is aiming to set new standards in quality, aesthetic and experience in the city, becoming a high-profile destination for food, drink and entertainment.
The development will officially be launched to the public on the 18th and 19th of November at The Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong. Mr Kingston Lai, the CEO of Knightsbridge Partners: Founder of Asia Bankers Club, Ashton Hawks & Golden Emperor, will be hosting three seminars each day for potential residences.
