Reign At The Rex
Manchester |
Reign marks a new era of elevated dining at The Rex, the landmark King Street address reborn from its former life as Hotel Gotham and Restaurant Honey. Following the hotel’s relaunch in April 2026, Reign introduces a refined yet quietly indulgent culinary experience, led by Executive Head Chef Bartosz Szynaka.
Drawing on a career spanning prestigious 5‑star and 6‑star kitchens around the world, Bartosz brings a modern, technique‑driven approach rooted in exceptional British produce. Guests can expect everything from elegant afternoon tea to immersive five‑course tasting menus, each shaped by seasonality, craftsmanship and a deep respect for flavour.
Set within the building’s iconic neoclassical architecture, Reign offers an intimate, design‑led setting that mirrors The Rex’s new identity: indulgent, discreet and unmistakably Manchester.

Private Dining & Events At The Rex |
Treasury - Hidden within the former vaults of 100 King Street, Treasury is one of The Rex’s most exclusive event spaces, where heritage is reimagined through a modern, refined lens. Once a place of safekeeping, it now houses something far more valuable: unforgettable experiences.
It is a space to unlock exceptional moments from private dining, conference, cinematic screenings or bespoke celebrations, each carefully guarded, expertly crafted and impossible to replicate. Discreet, versatile and indulgent, Treasury is where your most prized occasions are stored and remembered.
Strongroom - Set behind original vault doors, two levels beneath The Rex, The Strong Room is a private dining space designed for those who value discretion, indulgence and individuality. Once built to protect assets, it now safeguards something far more valuable: time well spent.
At its centre sits a full-size snooker table, ingeniously reimagined as a statement dining table, transforming from refined dining to playful competition in moments.
