Had afternoon tea. For two people. Service staff very friendly. The tea included copious amounts of any choice of hot drink. Plus two cocktails of your choice. I found the food selection to be very basic in its choices. Though it's fair to say they tasted fresh and we're well presented.
Had a very good views of the city from my vantage point.
What I found to be extremely disappointing. Were the very high and ornate, floor to ceiling tiled mirrored paneling which was absolutely filthy, cracked and broken at the base. One would have thought as its such a striking feature within the dining area. Attention to such detail would have been just as important as the food and service.
This does need to be addressed and kept clean.

A very large bar on the 23rd floor of the Hilton Deansgate in Manchester. It has an extensive drinks list served by efficient and friendly staff who are lovely. The larger main area can get a little crowded and noisy, but for a quieter more chilled and relaxed vibe there is an area at the end with soft seating. Being on the 23rd floor, it provides superb views of the Manchester skyline including the sunsets. Pricing is not cheap but not into very expensive territory. Recommended.

Beautiful bar with stunning views at the top of the Hilton. Was recommended this place by someone living in Manchester and it didn’t disappoint.
Worth booking in advance for a table around sunset to get the best views and guaranteed window seat. Paid about £25 each for that, but it included a cocktail that would have cost £15. We also got a little snack tray for £10 which seemed reasonable.
Definitely worth doing if you’re in Manchester.

Highly recommend for that little treat to celebrate something special yourself or a lovely gift of afternoon tea to someone special. Today me and my Mum had a lovely afternoon, in beautiful relaxed surroundings with amazing views over Manchester even on a dull cloudy day. That didn't matter as the afternoon tea served brightened our day anyway!
The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious, plentiful to eat, prepared and arranged with care, and the unlimited hot drinks, selection of teas, coffee's & hot chocolate was simply wonderful. 100% recommend and was definitely value for money.
We were served by the delightful Chandream who gave wonderful, attentive & professional service with a smile, taking time to let us know what each tier of the afternoon tea consisted of. Every member of staff was so friendly and gave great attention...nothing was too much trouble.........We will be back, thank you team Cloud 23!

We had only few drinks, but service is great, place has nice and relaxing atmosphere, also the view is beautiful.
Just to come over for a glass of sparkling water would be a pleasant experience. Definitely a Yes for me

A lovely and stylish experience at Cloud 23 - very comfortable, delicious drinks and a stunning view! The cocktail menu was very inventive, but sadly I didn’t find myself leaning towards any of their craft cocktails which seemed heavy on the bourbon/brandy, thick cream liqueurs and cherry flavours.
They do have a classic cocktail menu as well, offering things like a cosmopolitan, negroni, and margarita. I ordered off-menu at first - which they were very happy to do, and enjoyed a beautiful and refreshing French 75, which is champagne, gin, lemon juice and a bit of sugar. I then had the margarita which was also fresh and sharp.
There aren’t many bar snacks options, and you’re essentially forced into paying £15 for a small platter of olives, crisps and salted almonds. The prices of the cocktails were pretty crazy too (this is coming from a Londoner), at £14-19, and I didn’t think the ingredients were particularly premium.
It was still a very lovely afternoon, the venue has very comfortable seating and has a relaxing ambiance. It was very popular for couples enjoying the afternoon tea there.

Great cocktail bar at the top of the Hilton. Reasonable prices. Service is very good. Cocktails are very inventive but you’re here more for the view and atmosphere. Views during day time were just fantastic especially on a sunny day. Monday late afternoon is just perfect - not too busy.

'The Haçienda' cocktail was probably the best cocktail I've ever had. Also, the views of Manchester were incredible and the staff were lovely. Wonderful experience

Lovely afternoon tea set with unlimited drink options including tea(iced/hot), coffee(iced/hot) and hot chocolate.
Great place to see Manchester skyline and enjoy the food.

We had afternoon tea in cloud 23 today and had a really great time. The afternoon tea with cocktail was £40pp and was brilliant, the cocktails were really nice, and the bar staff were able to mix up some which weren't on the menu (Singapore slings) which was really good of them. The views are amazing, we went about an hour before sunset which was absolutely amazing, and meant we got great views day and then night! After we had finished our afternoon tea and cocktails we got a bottle of champagne to share between our party which was lovely. We found all the staff really friendly and helpful. Highly recommend visiting for amazing food and drinks and fantastic views.

Take time out to enjoy the high life. Overlooking Castlefield and the surrounding area, stunning views from the 23rd floor. Cakes, pastries and a cheeky cocktail.

I took 4 TV executives from Portugal up to Cloud 23 as part of an impromptu tour of Manchester. It was fantastic. Great service, warm, friendly and efficient. Superb drinks beautifully presented and what incredible views over the city. A great success and if we hadn't just had lunch I would have loved to try the Afternoon tea it looked excellent.

The most Royal Afternoon Tea! We were looked after very well for the whole time. Lovely service and delicious options for savoury and sweet (in particular the Peach Melba Macaron) We also really enjoyed the vast selection of drinks on offer! 5* Experience
