This is the hottest new arrival to the hotel scene in Manchester in
2008.With it's fabulous location and cutting edge design, it really
does encapsulate the vibe and soul that filters through the city
today. The premium accommodation suits both the discerning business
and leisure traveler, there is also the added bonus of a 24 hour
Crowne Plaza gym (residents only) within the hotel.This is a classy
and unique addition to Manchester and highly recommended.
Exterior: This is a brand new 10 storey purpose built ultra modern
hotel. It has an attractive angular design to the front and windows
that are made from multi-colored glass that appear to change color
as the light alters throughout the day. The stunning exterior has
been achieved through the collaboration of the design team and
Manchester City Council who were both keen to create a building
that is influenced by the best of the old and new buildings of this
area of Manchester.
Lobby: The lobby - in keeping with everything at the hotel - is
visually stunning, large and open plan with mezzanine/viewing areas
from the first floor. It combines the best of boutique elegance
with the grandeur of a prestigious city centre proprty.
