ECLECTIC Hotels' soon-to-open luxury Grade II-listed King Street Townhouse boutique hotel on Booth Street (not on King Street, we might add) have released an artist's impression of how their sparkly new rooftop infinity pool may look.
By 2017 Manchester city centre could boast up to 11,500 hotel rooms, compared with 5000 in 2006
Eclectic - who also operate the city's Great John Street Hotel, Didsbury House, Eleven Didsbury Park hotel and MediaCityUK's On The 7th member's lounge - say Manchester's first hotel rooftop infinity pool will offer guests a 'panorama of Manchester’s fascinating architectural skyline' including spectacular views over Town Hall and Albert Square.
Libby Morris of the Eclectic Group said: “Our infinity spa pool will offer a haven of calm, beauty and peace in sharp contrast to the feverish activity and excitement of the city below, something we consider to be aptly 'Eclectic' and something we are very excited about.”
King Street Townhouse will open in late Summer 2015 offering 40 rooms and suites; a bar, restaurant and tea room; conference and events spaces with rooftop terrace; and a gym and spa treatment rooms.
On top of that, there's Allied London's bold plans for the Manchester Grande, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs' plans for the former-Stock Exchange, Manchester Hall at the Freemason's, Motel One Cross Street, the Radisson Blu Edwardian extension, the former-Employment Exchange and the Indigo Hotel at NOMA.The new boutique hotel will open in what's set to be a rampant few years for Manchester's hotel industry, which in 2015 alone should see Hotel Gotham, Motel One Piccadilly, Hotel Football, Innside by Melia, King Street Townhouse and Cow Hollow Hotel open in the city.
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) - the world's largest hotel group by number of rooms - have also just been announced as the hotel partner in the University of Manchester's ten year £1billion campus redevelopment. The group will open a third Manchester Crowne Plaza with 210 rooms and a 116 room Staybridge Suites on Booth Street West.
By 2017 Manchester city centre could boast up to 11,500 hotel rooms, compared with 5000 in 2006 - a staggering 130% increase in only six years.
