Plans have been submitted for international hotel operator Meininger’s debut scheme in Manchester city centre.
Subject to planning being approved, the 12 storey, 212-bedroom 'hybrid-hotel' will open on Great Ancoats Street by January 2022 and will create more than 20 full time jobs.
It will offer 785 beds in total, in a mix of rooms including classic doubles, private multiple-bed rooms and dormitories.
The German operator is known for its international budget hotels with hostel-like facilities.
The Manchester site will include affordable modern accommodation alongside a reception, lobby, lounge, breakfast room and bar as well as a guest kitchen and games zone. It will also have a taxi drop off area, disabled parking and secure cycle store.
The plans have been submitted by development company S Harrison.
“As well as bringing a leading hotel operator to Manchester, this development will complement all the regeneration work that has taken place in recent years in this popular part of the city, which is just a 10-minute walk from Manchester Piccadilly station,” said Ann Scott, S Harrison’s managing director.
“We’ve used our vast experience working in the hotel and leisure sector to create this opportunity, bring the scheme forward and submit a planning application for our first Manchester development.
