Two floors beneath Hotel Gotham lies a hidden vault - it's about to open as a 1920s-style speakeasy club

Deep underground, two floors beneath the luxurious five-star Hotel Gotham on King Street, lies a secret bank vault that has never before been open to the public. But that's all about to change with work rapidly underway to transform this hidden space into something quite extraordinary.

Hotel bosses are in the process of transforming this hidden space into an exclusive club and events venue. They have lavished nearly £2m to create Gilt - a club and private dining rooms continuing in the banking theme that the rest of the hotel is famous for, with Great Gatsby-style 1920s glamour.

The M.E.N was given a sneak peek at the space as works are rapidly taking shape, ahead of a planned launch in November. The hotel is already starting to take bookings for Christmas parties for the extraordinary underground space.
