Locke Hotels has unveiled the 160-studio Whitworth Locke aparthotel in the heart of Manchester.
The hotel designed around a central glass atrium, includes a crossfit gym, third wave coffee house, an exclusive pop-up cocktail bar and co-working spaces.
Responding to the changing trends of today’s traveller, each studio and suite is designed to revolve around Locke’s designer living spaces, allowing guests to “surround themselves in space and comfort”.
Previously a cotton mill, the venue has been transformed by New York architects and designers Grzywinski+Pons. The team has combined elements of lux in interiors, textiles and colourways with the use of sage, taupe’s, apricots and terracotta.
Eric Jafari, Locke’s co-founder and creative director said: “Whitworth Locke encompasses our ambitions and is demonstrative of the brand’s future. This is a very special project for us.
“We know modern travellers increasingly value their social experiences and personal connections. We’ve created a space where people can truly feel at home. From our perspective, a second home is more than the four walls, it’s defined by a combination of your community and ability to maintain your daily habits.”
Whitworth Locke follows the brand’s successful opening of Eden Locke in Edinburgh 2017 and East London’s Leman Locke which opened in October 2016.
