Hotel District
Airport City has announced deals to deliver Holiday Inn and Ibis Budget, marking the creation of a new £180m hotel district
A 280-bed Holiday Inn and a 262-bed Ibis Budget will be delivered in Airport City Manchester located immediately adjacent to Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport, which forms part of the wider £1billion Transformation Programme.
The 280-room Holiday Inn Manchester Airport will feature the brand’s signature Open Lobby, which combines the front desk, lobby, restaurant, bar, lounge and business centre into one versatile area.
This gives guests flexibility, whether they’re looking to eat, relax, work, or have fun in one integrated space. The Holiday Inn will also feature three spacious meeting rooms, to cater for business travellers.
Room types including standard, twin, family, executive and accessible will be offered across six floors, while the southern corner of the sixth floor has been removed to create a terrace for guests, overlooking the airfield. The seventh floor will feature a canopied terrace and crew lounge which will look north over Airport City towards Manchester’s City Centre.
Ibis Budget Manchester Airport will offer 262 rooms over seven levels. The hotel will offer four room types - Double, Triple, Twin and Accessible. Ibis Budget offers its guests comfortable rooms with a fluffy duvet and pillows, free WI-FI and a gourmet breakfast buffet. A restaurant located on the ground floor of the Holiday Inn has been designed to attract guests from both hotels.
A full planning application has been submitted with construction targeted to start in early 2019 with completion scheduled for Q1 2021, which will create in the region of 250 jobs.
Airport City Manchester’s joint venture partners will act as the developer of the £180m hotel district will become home to four new hotels by 2021, providing 1,171 new hotel rooms within the Airport City North footprint and supporting the creation of around 500 jobs.
Further to the creation of the new Holiday Inn and Ibis Budget hotels, Airport City Manchester has received planning consent in February 2018 for the creation of a 375-bed 4-star hotel and a 254-bed 3-star hotel, on a site located adjacent to Manchester Airport’s transport interchange.
This is alongside the forecasted growth at Manchester Airport, where passenger numbers are set to grow from 26m in 2017 to 35m by 2027.
