Dakota Hotels has secured planning approval for a new 154-bedroom boutique hotel at Mix Manchester, the spot adjacent to the city’s airport.
It will be the group’s second hotel in Manchester, complementing its city centre hotel on Ducie Street.
According to Dakota, the hotel is expected to inject approximately £12m per year to the local economy and bring 150 jobs to the area.
The property, which will be located off Enterprise Way on a three-acre plot, has an estimated £60m development value with a gross internal area of 7,836 square metres.
Designed by KPP Architects, the new Dakota Hotel will also include a premium bar and brasserie-style Grill on the ground floor and will provide 130 car parking spaces and a dedicated shuttle service to and from the airport terminals.
Preparation work has already begun on site and GMI Construction is due to start shortly.
Andrew Ovenstone, MD of Dakota Hotels, said: “This is an exceptional location for the latest hotel in our Northern portfolio. Not only is it strategically placed next to one of the busiest airports in the world, but it will be central to the development coming forward across the Mix Manchester site.
“We’re very pleased to have secured planning and look forward to bringing the Dakota Hotels experience to the local community, business travellers and employees and visitors to Mix Manchester.”
