A new hotel is set to open at a site on the edge of Manchester’s Northern Quarter
The Premier Inn on Rochdale Road, which has planning permission for a 229-bedroom hotel set over ten storeys, and is part of Whitbread’s strategy of reconfiguring its network of hotels in Manchester city centre.
Paul Smith, Property Acquisition Manager for Whitbread, said:
“Whitbread is a long-standing investor in Manchester with six popular Premier Inn hotels across the city centre and many more across the city region. In line with our perfect portfolio investment strategy, we are in the process of reconfiguring our network of hotels across central Manchester to ensure we have the right number of bedrooms in the right parts of the city centre for our guests.
“Our investment in the Rochdale Road development site brings another 229-bedrooms into our secured development pipeline in a part of the city centre we wish to expand our presence. The location ticks all the boxes for our guests and with Whitbread’s direct involvement in the scheme, we can guarantee the development will now proceed at pace.”
Work is expected to begin this summer
