Overview
The Unicorn Hotel (now trading as The Unicorn) is a Grade II listed public house on Church Street in the Northern Quarter area of Manchester, England. Designed by William Ellerton and built in 1924 to replace an earlier pub on the site, it is a well‑preserved example of an inter‑war "improved" public house, retaining much of its original plan form and interior detail. The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) rates the interior as being of "outstanding national historic importance".
