June 2017 is the planned opening of what is claimed to be the first 'modular' hotel in the north-west.

The new 220 bedroom Holiday Inn Express TraffordCity in Manchester is a hotel constructed entirely from shipping containers currently being pieced together next to EventCity in Manchester.

The purpose-built steel shipping containers come complete with interior fixtures and fittings, full height windows, carpet, wallpaper, ceiling and light fittings - all of which are installed before being delivered to site.

An external finish is applied to the building once the modules are in place to create an attractive appearance.

Holiday Inn Express TraffordCity is set to serve both TraffordCity and Salford Quays. A planned extension to TfGM Metrolink will provide a direct tram service into central Manchester in future.
