Plans are to be submitted shortly for another new hotel in Manchester. 

Developers intend to demolish an office block at 55 Portland Street in the centre of Manchester and replace it with a 17-storey new hotel.

The new hotel, would be operated by the Ireland-based Dalata Hotel Group.

The new hotel would include 329 bedrooms plus a restaurant at ground floor and mezzanine level.

The hotel would be operated under Dalata’s four-star Clayton brand.

Dalata also operate the four-star Clayton Hotel Manchester Airport.
