Exactly.


Much prefer another...............

Not sure if these images have been posted yet? Came across them just by chance tonight. The proposal is on hold ATM.

One would assume that if the Whitehall of the North get's the go ahead from the Governement, this hotel and other hotel proposal nearby, could yet see the light of day?

Scheme proposals for two towers on a key city centre site in the centre of Manchester. Comprising a 21-storey, 215 bedroom, branded, 3-star hotel, and a 16-storey, 130 bed Apart-Hotel. Initial scheme proposals prepared with contextual massing studies for dialogue with Planners.

Key Features /
Contract Value: £25m
Client: BDL Hotels
Planning and Site: Currently on hold

Christ that's terrible.

Ok, good news that the site is attracting proposals but I would hate for this to get approval.

Which means it probably will.

[Seasonedbest]

Don't mind the buliding, but the location of something that dark on glorious Dale street is shameful.

[Unremarkable]

There's more renders on their website, still don't like it.

It's that almost blank wall I really take offense to, no imagination whatsoever

[monkey_rat]

Yeah it's proper crap.

What are the chances of something being built on 111 Piccadilly's car park?

There are other 'car parks' which need building on 1st

at least 111's is a proper car park.





I like it. I like this almost brutal simplicity. I like Chethams more though. But I'm not 100% on the location too...

As Jrb point out, this is the real crap:

aye you're right.

reason I ask though is that I think with a building on the corner this proposal will look less awkward.

Published: 2010-10-18 07:52:43

Office developer and operator Bruntwood is in advanced discussions with a hotel group, with a view to developing a four-star hotel next to Trinity Bridge.

"They have drawn up their in-principle design for a conference-led, 200-room hotel and we're going to see the planners jointly this week," said Bruntwood development director Peter Crowther in an exclusive interview for Central Salford magazine.

"If the initial design is received positively by planning officials, the hotelier will work up the design with a view to submitting a formal application."

Pre-consultation meetings have taken place with planners and the developer is working towards submitting its application on October 25.

Thistle Hotel in Manchester is nearing the completion of a £3m refurbishment which will see the property revert back to its original name, The Portland.

Due to be finished by the end of November, the restoration has taken eight months to complete across seven floors and includes 204 new-look bedrooms with air conditioning, two new lifts and a refurbished front hall – as well as a refreshed Portland St Restaurant and Bar.

The name change reflects the the building's heritage, which dates back to its warehouse beginnings in 1851,

The hotel is also investing in its meetings and events facilities, known as the Riley Suites. Named collectively in honour of popular local artist Harold Riley, they will separately be known as the Sir Bobby Charlton, Sir Matt Busby, Denis Law and Mercer suites.

Since 2008, Thistle has invested £100m transforming its entire portfolio. Ian Corner, general manager of The Portland, by Thistle said: "The hotel lies at the very heart of the city and its heritage within Manchester, from its former years as a working warehouse, makes it a unique part of the city’s history.

"We’re proud that we can reveal the latest chapter in the property’s existence following our investment and are confident the refurbishment will re-establish The Portland, as it will now be known, as one of the city’s most fondly-regarded hotels.

"The transformation of The Portland will place Thistle as a major force in Manchester’s business and leisure sector - a welcome stay for business and leisure guests travelling into the city."
