In this episode we speak to brothers Alex and Adrien Grosjean, young entrepreneurs who have recently acquired The Residence Inn by Marriott Manchester Piccadilly. We discussed the reasons why Manchester’s visitor market is booming, and their decision to invest in this area, why they see extended-stay accommodation as a major opportunity in what is one of the UK's fastest-growing cities, how they plan to enhance their portfolio of hotels, and their advice for the next generation of hospitality disruptors.

Aimbridge Hospitality EMEA has revealed it welcomed nine new properties and more than 1,000 guestrooms to its portfolio since the turn of the year.

With a combined 1,348 guestrooms between them, the properties include six hotels owned by Danish real estate group ProArk alongside Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Airport and Hyatt Place and Hyatt House Leeds.

Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Airport is a 178-guestroom property located on Concorde Road at the airport site and offers modern amenities including a fitness centre, business centre, and an on-site restaurant and bar.

Meanwhile, Hyatt Place Leeds and Hyatt House Leeds together offer 305 guestrooms, two restaurants and functional meeting spaces designed to cater to a variety of business needs.

Announced in January, the ProArk group of midscale Mercure-branded hotels sees Aimbridge partnering with Accor to manage properties in Bedford, Cardiff, Harlow, Nottingham, Telford and Birmingham.

David Anderson, divisional president at Aimbridge EMEA, said: “We’ve had a really positive start to 2025, welcoming so many new properties to our portfolio in a matter of months proves testimony to our position as a trusted operator across multiple verticals and brands.”

“The nine new additions enrich our portfolio, leveraging our experience and expertise for these major brands.Work is already underway in close partnership with each property’s general manager and their wider hotel teams to help each site create exceptional guest experiences as well as generate positive results for hotel owners.”

He added: “The dual branded Hyatt Place and Hyatt House Leeds are another welcome addition to our vast portfolio of UK and European hotels and offer something different for both leisure and business travellers in the growing, vibrant city of Leeds.

“The concept for the impressive Azotea roof top bar and restaurant was developed by our in-house food and beverage team, and they have been working alongside our hotel team to bring this engaging vision to life.”
