Bentley Motors is the most sought-after luxury car brand in the world. But that hasn’t stopped the company from flexing its creativity and craftsmanship beyond the world of cars. The Bentley Record Room is proof of that as it presents a unique and immersive way to experience the brand.

Music And More

Housed at Co-op Live, the £365m, 23,500 capacity premier venue located on the Etihad Campus in the heart of Manchester, the new luxurious Bentley branded space can accommodate a total of 100 guests.

The Bentley Record Room provides Co-op Live luxe members and Bentley clients with a cossetting space that echoes the refined luxury of a Bentley car. Adjacent to the performer’s green room, the flexible space also accommodates a stage for a spontaneous encore or to showcase an emerging talent pre-show. Guests will be treated to curated dining options with private host and waiting services, including dedicated arrival and private entrance.

Bentley Craftsmanship

Created by the Bentley Design team, the space ensures the ultimate in acoustic and performance enhancement combined with the unique design and handcraftsmanship that are intrinsic to any Bentley space.

Bespoke finishes are skilfully presented throughout from the signature Bentley Diamonds’ trimmed in British locally sourced wool in the ceilings to dégradé walnut panels that decorate the walls. Tailored to enhance acoustic performance, each panel features geometric lines and curves to accommodate different acoustics on the sound spectrum.

Polished mineral plaster finishes on the walls are inlaid with contoured walnut veins surrounding the stage area, providing further enhancement to the sound experience aligned to the Bentley design DNA. The key Bentley diamond signature backdrop brings to life the stage experience.

Opulent Touches

Ceiling heights are adjusted to create visual grandeur around the stage area which drops around the bar, accompanied by intimate low slung seating areas and private dining areas which allow ultimate comfort and performance visibility within the space.

The majestic walnut diamond bar inspired by the Bentley Batur matrix provides a sculptural centrepiece to the Patagonia stone top and panelled with Bentley green low carbon leather secured by knurled rotary dials, provides rounded edges that soften the space.

Furniture by Bentley Home is interspersed throughout from the Galloway Bench to the Ryde Ottoman – all of which display the machine stitched Bentley B and celebrate Bentley’s skilful use of wood and dynamic lightness.
