About this space

The Zeus Lounge is a lounge in Cloud 23 that features floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views across the Manchester skyline.

Design: The lounge has low-slung leather armchairs, bronze-framed mirrors and a patterned carpet under a curtain of suspended crystal lights, producing a compact, dressed-up interior.

Features: The space provides a built-in PA system and speakers, allows own music and supplies Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The layout includes a small dancefloor and flexible low seating, and the area has step-free access, wheelchair-accessible facilities and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small, dressed-up social groups looking for an intimate, lounge-style evening of drinks and mingling rather than a formal seated event.

What guests say: The lounge feels stylish and intimate, presenting a luxurious look without pretension.

30th Birthday Party · 25 guests · August 2026

The venue was beautiful and the service from the events team was very good, everything went very smoothly.

The bar on the night was charging a higher price than previously quoted for drinks. Also tried to shut the event at 12pm instead of 1am which was signed in the contract.
