Plans for a new hotel in central Manchester on the corner of Princess Street and Whitworth Street have been revived. A previous scheme was abandoned in 2008, a victim of the recession.
The revised scheme will consist of a four-star hotel with ground floor retail and restaurants, 240 flats and a landscaped public square. The scheme is expected to be submitted for planning approval later this autumn.
The site is midway between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Oxford Road stations and an approximate five minute walk to each.
