A new Bee Hotel has just opened in central Manchester.

The addition is part of a major £2.9 million refurbishment at Jurys Inn Manchester.

The ‘Bee Happy Hotel’ will help prevent the decline of Manchester’s bee population. It is situated on the deck of Jurys Inn's new restaurant and will provide complimentary accommodation for both local and visiting bees during the winter hibernation season.

The canal side of the Jurys Inn deck is rich with local fauna and flora and should provide the perfect bed and breakfast base for the bees.

On the human side the refurbishment at Jurys Inn Manchester has resulted in stylish new bedrooms, an open plan new lobby with a connectivity area, a Costa coffee bar plus a new bar and restaurant, ‘Oddsocks Bar & Kitchen’.

All 265 bedrooms have been revamped and are now furnished with a new DREAM bed by Jurys Inn, a 42 inch flatscreen TV with Freeview, hairdryer and complimentary toiletries.

There is free high speed wi-fi throughout the hotel.The new-look lobby at Jurys Inn Manchester now features space for informal meetings.  

The hotel is also trialling self-check-in kiosks in reception.

The close proximity of bees will always attract the cliché – as Hotel General Manager, Steven Devine notes: “We have been busy bees in recent months…. with Manchester a hive of activity “

A recent survey by Travelodge has revealed that half of British adults cannot identify some of the country’s most celebrated cities by their nicknames.

Fewer than half of the respondents knew the ‘Black Country’ referred to a region of the West Midlands with a fifth unaware than the nick-name for Birmingham is ‘Brum’.

More than a quarter were unaware that Sheffield, for example, is known as the ‘steel city’. Seventy-five percent did not know that York’s chocolate-producing heritage has led it to be known as the ‘chocolate city’.

Travelodge surveyed 2000 people across the country to seek the nation’s knowledge to the whereabouts of our largest cities by their popular nicknames.

The report revealed that young adults are the least knowledgeable when it comes to location lingo with over a third not knowing where any of the most famous nicknamed cities are in the UK.

More controversially, the study also revealed that men’s national nickname knowledge is, on average, greater than women’s. 75% of men but only 60% of women identified ‘The Toon’ as another name for Newcastle. Half of British men surveyed knew that Edinburgh was known as ‘Auld Reekie’ compared to 65% of women who believed it was somewhere else.

Dr Tom Clark, Lecturer in the Department of Sociological Studies at Sheffield University said: “Location nicknames provide valuable points of reference and help us to celebrate the unique heritage associated with the area of landmark. Names like ‘The Toon’ help to evoke a sense of a place - sometimes with a hint of irony, and sometimes with a touch of the grandiose. Without these descriptive adornments - and more importantly, what they represent - we could be in danger of losing a vital sense of ourselves.”

Full marks to Hotel Café Royal, the five-star luxury hotel; in London’s West End. 

It has addressed the pressing problem of what to do if you arrive at your hotel and find you haven’t packed your best suit or a suitable outfit for a special occasion.

No more need to tear your hair out and venture out shopping into a city you probably don’t know very well.

Hotel Café Royal has the answer. They have teamed up with a fashion house to offer a service where guests can get an entire emergency luxury wardrobe delivered to their hotel room in 90 minutes.

First the guest has a telephone conversation with a style consultant. What they want, the style, their favoured designers – you know the score. Budget is also discussed.

The consultant then picks out the required item or items from a range of designer and bespoke brands from their warehouse.

The item is then delivered to the guest’s room.

When the London Evening Standard sampled the service they sourced a Prada top with a feathered trim for £945.00 and an Azzaro green silk gown and a floral dress, a snip at £8410.00.

Apparently some guests do not wait until they lose their luggage before availing themselves of the service. After all, it is a chore trying to pack for the vagaries of the English climate.

The bespoke service at Hotel Café Royal has been launched initially for guests in the hotel suites but it could be extended if it proves popular.
