Another four or possibly five-star hotel in Manchester could be on the cards following a decision by Manchester City Council to back various redevelopment schemes in the city. These include a plan by the property company headed by Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville, the former Manchester United footballers, to revamp Bootle Street police station in the city and convert it into a hotel.

Bootle Street police station is situated on a parcel of land between Albert Square and Deansgate in the centre of Manchester. The 80-year-old police station closed recently. The proposed hotel will be part of a mixed use scheme which will also include bars and restaurants.

Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville will be opening their first hotel - Hotel Football - opposite Old Trafford in December 2014.
