Inside the huge new hotel that will dominate part of Deansgate

A whopping new 358-room, 22-storey hotel is set to open this spring, once again changing Manchester city centre’s skyline.

The skyscraper has been climbing up at the southern end of Deansgate for a couple of years, wrapping around The Deansgate pub.

And now the operator for the brand-new hotel has been revealed, along with new CGIs giving us a glimpse inside its doors.

The hotel will be a Hampton By Hilton, the largest of the brand’s hotels in Europe, with hundreds of modern bedrooms and sweeping city views.

Guests will have plenty of Manchester’s top attractions on the doorstep, including Manchester Central, Deansgate Square, the Science and Industry Museum, and Spinningfields.

They’ll also have a decent pub on the doorstep – the new Hampton by Hilton towers right above The Deansgate pub.

When the new hotel opens in April, it will add 358 new guest rooms to the city centre, plus a new bar and all-day dining restaurant, with hot breakfasts included with all stays (including signature Hampton Waffle makers).

Other amenities will include a 24-hour fitness centre, and a meeting and event space for private hire.

Operators say the hotel will have interiors that will feature ‘subtle references to Manchester’s urban character and industrial heritage’, with architecture that will make ‘a strong new addition to the city’s skyline’.

Adi Hodzic, Managing Director of Dean Street Developments, said: “Manchester is a city undergoing exceptional growth, and this opening represents a major milestone for both Dean Street Developments and the wider hospitality landscape.

“Hampton by Hilton Manchester City Centre brings a contemporary, intelligently designed product to the city centre, matching the scale and ambition of the city itself.”

Abi Hindle, General Manager of the hotel, added: “We’re thrilled to be opening Europe’s largest Hampton by Hilton in Manchester, a city known for its warm hospitality.

“We’re certain that the new Hampton by Hilton Manchester City Centre will be a great addition to the city’s already flourishing hospitality landscape, becoming a popular destination for tourists, business travellers, and families alike.”

Nick Smart, Vice President, Development, UK, Ireland and Nordics at Hilton, commented: “We’re proud to partner with Dean Street Developments on the opening of Europe’s largest Hampton by Hilton in Manchester, one of the UK’s most dynamic cities.

“This project underscores our ambition to expand our presence in high‑growth areas across the UK, working with trusted partners to develop world-class hotels that offer travellers fantastic stays in great destinations.”

Bookings for the new Hampton by Hilton Manchester City Centre are now open, with stays currently on sale from 30 April.
