The Manchester is a super cool luxury hotel in Lexington. There is so much style here - the vibes are Miami or maybe Scottsdale or Palm Springs. The rooms are amazing and the views from the rooftop bar are phenomenal. Parking is complicated, but not impossible if you consider that ahead of time or are willing to pay for Valet. Lots you can safely walk to from here. read more

We visit Lexington KY quite often. This was the first time staying at the Manchester. I highly recommend it. The rooms are a little small but that is easily overlooked by being so well appointed. The is a nice assortment of food in the room. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. High energy in the bar with live music. The only negative is the restaurant. We have tried eating here before and the food is just terrible. We won't eat here again....but will stay in the lovely hotel. read more

I was in Lexington for a Yelp Elite Event and it did not disappoint. We got to visit The Manchester. The appetizers I had were great. The braised tri-tip with grits, pimento cheese and labna and the hummus with marinated feta and house made crackers were delicious. For cocktails I had the PB&J Old Fashioned and the Kentucky Curley were both excellent. Our bartender, Tony was very attentive and made sure the cocktails were up to their standards. Went upstairs to Lost Palm and had a house Old Fashioned which was very good as well. We got to tour the hotel and rooftop bar Lost Palm. I look forward to coming back here with friends/family/clients and letting them check this place out. Definitely a top notch experience for Lexington. The Manchester hotel has an eclectic hip feel to it and was a great experience. read more

Other than parking, everything else was great. There is paid parking across the street. I was greeted at the door and was able to get in. It was a cool dark vibe that I like a lot. The bartender was very nice. He suggested the Palomino drink and it had very unique combinations. Tried few of the appetizers. My favorite was the braised tri tip. The grits were also good. Hummus and marinated feta was a delicate touch. Then as part of the Yelp Elite Event, we were given a tour of the Hotel. The hotel vibes were very quirky and wonderful. Would definitely stay here. The bunk bed rooms were so cute and apt for a family. The roof top bar gave Moroccan vibes, and offered a phenomenal view of Lexington. read more

Valet service is terrible. Attendants carry condiments and squeeze them on cars in the parking lot with handicap plates.

Amazing hotel! Rooms and common areas are very well designed and decorated. The facilities were well appointed, luxurious, and relaxing. Two options for bars included jazz in the foyer bar and a DJ on the rooftop bar, catering to those who want a more active experience versus a more relaxed experience. The hotel was easy to get to the staff was amazing and the rooms were very quiet and cozy. Cannot wait to go back! read more

I came here from Los Angeles to enjoy the Southern hospitality this town is known for. My girlfriend recommended we try this new spot -- the rooftop looked kind of cool. When we arrived and headed upstairs, we were met by a hostess with a heavy Southern accent who, oddly enough, was trying to act like an LA influencer -- complete with major attitude. Long story short, she took 15 minutes to answer a couple of simple yes-or-no questions. Even though the place was nearly empty and we had reservations, she turned us away for no good reason. We went downstairs to try the bar and ordered some appetizers and drinks. Honestly, the food was awful -- I've had better quality from street vendors. I asked for a double shot of espresso and got what looked and tasted like a cold shot of dyed water. To top it all off, the prices were higher than some of the most expensive hotels back in Los Angeles -- and that's saying something. Disappointed and definitely won't be back. read more

About halfway between Atlanta and Cleveland is a cool city called Lexington Ky. While it's not the bourbon capital (Bardstown Ky is) they are part of the famous Kentucky Bourbon trail. A perfect place to hold up for the night and recharge for the second leg of my trip to Cleveland. Enter the Manchester. A newly opened, very cool looking hotel with a combination of throwback design blended with some rich looking decor. A gorgeous decorative and furnished lobby with lots of seating area, and a full bar surrounded with comfy causal couches and chairs. I love the decor of the room. A very comfortable bed and spotless room. And a bar inside the room, complete with gin, vodka, bourbon and scotch. The rooftop bar/restaurant is a must. A very cool vibe, good food and great cocktails with a gorgeous view. A great experience and awesome start to attending my nieces wonderful wedding weekend in Cleveland. read more

I stayed here for my wedding and had the absolute best experience. Frankly, the bar situations - both in the lobby and upstairs at The Lost Palm - are top-of-the-line and wouldn't feel out of place in Manhattan or Los Angeles. The lobby bar serves an A+ espresso martini. The staff left us a really nice gift basket and note in honor of our wedding; they were also kind enough to let us store leftover food from the wedding in their refrigerators downstairs. The decoration really is immaculate throughout every room; Lexington is a beautiful city, and The Manchester is the perfect hotel for those looking to rest their heads after a long day on the bourbon trail. read more

Very aesthetically pleasing hotel with a rich traditional vibe, very classy. The bed was comfy with down comforter, lots of little touches in the room, communication with hotel via text was nice, good options for food/drinks on site, location for us was great due to a concert next door but also very close to the distillery district. No free parking... valet for $24/night or you can park in the lot across the street for $20/night. We were able to check-in early which was appreciated. Checked-out online so that was a nice convenience. read more

The valet staff were excellent and the bed slept really well, however it goes down from there. Please note, you will be charged 100.00 deposit and 6 days after my stay I still dont have that back. Secondly be cognizant of fraudulant charges ,as I had two charges from that hotel for no reason. Don't expect to be able to communicate with them as I sent three emails with zero response untill the fourth email. When I expressed that I wanted a refund ive been ghosted. Please note the views are of a parking lot on one side and a roof on the other. The front desk staff on arrival were largely ambivalent with no explanations that the elevator needed a key nor any signage to the same. I found a card in the room and it said call anytime for anything. It took 3 hours for response back. read more

I attended a Yelp event at the Manchester and it was amazing. We had a wonderful catered meal of appetizers and an entree of polenta and a beef dish. The hummus was great as well. We had a tour of the hotel and I see they put a great effort in to taking you out of Lexington and transporting you to Miami. I really enjoyed the rooftop bar. Great experience. Will definitely be take!!!!! read more

the hotel rooms are very small , but they are clean , the issue we had was for a 3 day stay we were charged $ 200.00 in fees we didn't charge 1 thing to the room, these were all fees the hotel charged , valet fee , which was for parking 30 ft from you check in un covered ,, and the valet doesn't take your luggage up to your room, they roll it into the lobby and walk off, the resort fee ,,, not sure what that's for no amenity's that we could see. Just expect the fees at the end of your stay $$$$$ read more

Manchester is a really nice lowkey rooftop that over looks lexington. I enjoyed my time with friends there. The food is very good, mostly appetizers and the service was really nice. Definitely the place to be on a nice day in lex. read more

We were here for the Easter lunch buffet. It was uninspired . Music was too loud. We couldn't visit and that's the whole point of getting together for a holiday. There was only one dessert and it wasn't very good. Why not bread pudding. Everyone likes that. Hot brown quiche was best. Grits/shrmp oily. No S&P on tables. Eggs Benedict would have been lovely. Just certainly not worth $55 read more

My expectations were exceeded upon my arrival at The Manchester hotel in KY. We had been driving for a few hours so we got in sometime in the evening. As soon as I opened the car door, the outside air smelled delicious so whatever they were cooking in there, I needed to have it! The parking was a bit confusing since there's a lot in front of the hotel but it was only for valet parking. It was only $20 for overnight parking and the valet attendant was super nice and very patient when he explained the process. Check-in was easy and you can tell that this was a new hotel. My room was beautifully decorated and I loved the Le Labo amenities in the bathroom. They had an electric kettle for coffee and a clothes steamer in the closet. Their attention to detail was impressive! I loved the thick down comforters which made the bed super cozy for me and my dog Lucy. Which is another great thing; they're also pet-friendly! Lucy and I had a great time and she also very much enjoyed her stay at The Manchester. read more

Hotel staff are amazing - very friendly, accommodating, and helpful. I had the best stay. The bed was so comfortable. All the extra little touches in the room and the decor were lovely. Would come back to Lexington just for the chance to stay here again! read more

we love going here every four months to try the new menus! It's our splurge date night and it's so worth it because we love trying food and trying to guess how they make it truly the best gourmet in Lexington read more

Absolutely amazing from the Valet upon arrival to the checkout persons. Our entire stay was the Very Best. Clean, Stylish, Majestic, First Class, Safe and Secure. Very Friendly and Professional Staff. Can't wait to go Back. In all my many decades of travel, this is the only Hotel that I Rant and Rave about because it left a Very Positive Impression. Highly recommend. read more

I really love your hotel, but I will not stay there again until you fully enclose your showers. You've designed them such that a person has to walk out from behind the glass to get shampoo, etc. and, as a result, nearly freeze to death. Such a stupid design. read more

Called to ask if we needed a reservation for the rooftop bar. Was told we didn't if we wanted to just have drinks and stand at the bar. Arrived and we were told we would have to go on an hour waitlist. Need to work on communication. The drinks were just ok at Granddam bar downstairs as we waited. read more

Can I do a .5 star? Perhaps let customers that are coming to support your business know that the mandatory valet is at their expense. Poorly designed customer experience trap. read more

Poor service, noisy, not worth the price-very disappointed, had hoped this would become our go to for Lexington visits

We originally booked 3 rooms at a different hotel in Lexington, but after someone in our group found used needles (!!) in their trash can we decided to make a move. We called The Manchester and talked to Cassie who was so sweet and helpful in securing new rooms for everyone in our group and even gave us a bit of a discount to help us out. Everyone we came in contact with was so friendly and went out of their way to be gracious and accommodating. Very upscale and clean with a young hip vibe. Highly recommend! read more

The atmosphere is nice, almost like the 21C Museum Hotel. I feel like this addition will even out the playing field as the Galt House and The Brown Hotel are in Louisville. read more

Party Hotel Stayed at hotel Sat July 13. Traveled to Lexington with wife and two kids for PGA event. Paid $775 total for one night of adjoining rooms includes taxes and new "clean energy assessment". I am not one to complain, however, feel review is needed to warn other guests. Pay extra for adjoining room for this provides overall better sleep if one gets up to use bathroom or someone wants to watch TV a bit longer. At end of day, the function of a hotel is to provide space for hotel guests to sleep. The Manchester outdoor rooftop bar was having a Saturday party event. The DJ was blasting the music to the level the bass would vibrate the hotel room window. I tried the sleep app white noise on iphone and nothing would drown out the bass. My son fell right asleep, however, my daughter could not because of the DJ bass. I stayed up with her. As my father would always tell me, nothing good happens after midnight. Thus, I waited and figured The Manchester would have the party winding down at midnight. Midnight came and rooftop party was still going strong. No phone in room so I text at 12:07 asking when rooftop DJ party ends. I receive "I'm sorry but the live music rooftop session is scheduled to end at 1:00AM." At 1:00AM the party was still going strong. I text hotel again at 1:08AM to be informed, "I was just told that it is ending at 2AM instead of 1AM. They usually extend the time depending on how many people are up there. I truly am sorry that your stay is a bit unsetting. I think we may have earplugs here at the front desk." I realize front desk clerk overnight is just punching clock and does not set policy or book these DJ and rooftop party events. The clerk did text me, "I will leave this situation with management so they can help." Two days has past and I have yet to receive a text, email, or phone call from management to apologize. Folks be warned, this is a PARTY HOTEL. If you are young and looking for a place to party, this is your hotel. If you have kids or older looking for a place to SLEEP, I would look someplace else!!! read more

Lexington Ky is one of my favorite cities!!! It is an equestrian paradise and i come to Lexington quite a bit! I was so happy to see a new hotel that is "5-star"! So I tried the Manchester! The hotel decor is absolutely stylish and gorgeous! Vintage cocktails like a Pegu on the menu! I wanted to give it 5 stars However it is not 5 star. I think the staff needs a little more training. Today I had to bring down my luggage (no bellman to be found) and load it myself after the valet brought the car around. He ignored me and did not offer to help. . The Granddam is a good restaurant. I think with time, it will be great. Also, while the honor bar in the room is well stocked, the bathroom amenities are like a cheap air b&b. 5 star means pretty soaps and accoutrements. I hope they get the kinks worked out because it is an aesthetically pleasing hotel. read more

We brought 10 people here for drinks and had the worst service possible. We are all of age and the bar tender refused to serve us claiming all our ids were fake. They were unprofessional and handled the situation horribly. Would not recommend read more

Disgusting trash place. The servers are some of the rudest people I've come across. The service is terrible.
