Grade II listed building, at the corner of Oxford Street and Whitworth Street, originally designed and built between 1891–1895 for the Refuge Assurance Company. The 217 foot high tower was added in 1910–1912. The building remained occupied by The Refuge Assurance Company until 1987. It was converted to a hotel in 1996, and is now the Palace Hotel. http://www.principal-hayley.com/venues-and-hotels/the-palace-hotel Palace Hotel website
