Subject to approval, work could begin on site next year with a view to the design-led hotel opening in 2019.

Manchester Dakota Deluxe is part of a plan to bring the luxury Dakota brand hotels to all key UK regional cities over the next five years.

Currently there are Dakota Deluxe hotels at the Eurocentral complex on the outskirts of Glasgow and South Queensferry in Edinburgh. Leeds Dakota Deluxe is nearing completion and will open in April 2017.

The lifestyle brand ‘Dakota’ was founded by Ken McCulloch, who was also behind the Malmaison hotel brand.
