The hotel group shares and idea of what the boutique development will look like ahead of its 1 July opening
Dakota Hotel Group has unveiled new CGIs offering a first look inside its new Manchester Airport hotel. Positioned as “the destination before the destination”, the seven-storey, 84,000 sq ft hotel has been purpose-designed for travellers seeking a seamless, premium stay either side of their journey.
Set to open on 1 July 2026, the £55m development will bring Dakota’s signature blend of understated luxury and exceptional service directly to one of the UK’s busiest international airports.
The hotel will feature 154 bedrooms, a premium Bar & Grill, a dedicated shuttle service to the airport terminals, on-site valet car parking and a range of refined spaces designed to enhance the guest experience, such as an al fresco Cigar Terrace and Humidor, private dining rooms, a dedicated Champagne Room and versatile event spaces.
Matt Townley, Group Operations Director, said: “Officially opening bookings for Dakota Hotel Manchester Airport marks a major milestone for the project and brings us another step closer to our highly anticipated launch. This development has been carefully designed to reflect the signature Dakota experience while responding to the needs of a highly connected, international location. Ahead of our planned 1 July 2026 opening, we’re delighted to be welcoming early interest and look forward to introducing a new standard of luxury hospitality at Manchester Airport.”
