General Manager Paul Bayliss says: “We are a brand new property so we already have lots of features designed to allow for an environment where personal space is key, including a self-check-in facility, nearly 200 brand new and immaculately clean bedrooms and staff fully-trained in the highest standards. We have large restaurant and banqueting spaces, several separate kitchens and four lifts, allowing us to plan for continued social distancing. I am delighted to celebrate the hospitality industry getting back on its feet and look forward to welcoming visitors to Manchester’s little piece of the Big Apple’.
