The Beetham Tower is a landmark 47-storey skyscraper in Manchester city centre, England. Built in 2007, it is named after the developers, Beetham Organization, was designed by Ian Simpson and was built by Carillion.[3] It is the tallest building in Manchester by a significant margin. It consists of a Hilton Hotel up to level 23 and apartments from level 25 up to the triplex penthouse on level 47.[2] There are also 2 basement levels, which contain car parking for the residents of the apartments. The tower lies on Deansgate and has two postal addresses, with the apartments falling under 301 Deansgate and the hotel under 303 Deansgate. Widely referred to as Beetham Tower, it is also known colloquially as the Hilton Tower thanks to the corporate logos placed on the 24th storey plant floor on each side of the building. Located along Deansgate at the junction with Great Bridgewater Street and Liverpool Road, it has 47 floors and is metres (554 ft) in height, making it the tallest building in the UK outside London, the UK's 7th tallest building and the tallest residential development in Europe.[4] It is the tallest building in Manchester, having overtaken the CIS Tower. In comparison, the UK's tallest building, One Canada Square, is 235 metres (771 ft) tall.[2] The tower contains a four-star 279 bedroom Hilton Hotel[3] for the first 22 floors. The 23rd floor is deeper than those below by 4m, and has two glass windows in the floor, offering views down to the ground from the skybar Cloud 23,[5] which is the only skybar in Manchester. The floor also has a bar and lounge, both operated by Hilton.[4] From the 25th to 47th floors, the tower is occupied by residential apartments.[6] As part of the project, a 12-storey office block is due to be constructed adjacent to the tower,[3] with 6,506 square metres of floor space.[7] The hotel also has a 4-storey annex, containing a swimming pool, ballroom, conference rooms and coffee shop.[5] The architect, Ian Simpson,
