Roomzzz Manchester City has been brought to market with a guide price of £12m.  

The four-star aparthotel is located on Princess Street and occupies a period building reflecting the industrial heritage of the city.

The property features 59 guest apartments, including studios and one- and two-bedroom units, while shared facilities include a reception, lobby, laundry services and secure access systems.

The building is being sold as a freehold interest. It will be delivered free of its current brand and management, allowing a new owner operational flexibility. The existing staff are expected to remain at the property to maintain service continuity.

The site is situated near the primary retail district and transport links, including Manchester Airport and local rail networks. It has potential for further unit expansion, subject to the buyer obtaining necessary planning consents and reconfiguration.

Partner at Knight Frank, Ryan Lynn, who is handling the sale, said: “The combination of a prime city centre location, an attractive period building and well-specified apartments ensures the property appeals to a broad range of occupiers, including business travellers, relocating professionals, weekend visitors and international tourists.

“The opportunity to acquire the asset unencumbered by brand or management, alongside its clear expansion potential, offers an incoming owner a compelling platform for future value creation.”

News Analysis

The recent market listing of Roomzzz Manchester City for £12m rings familiar, echoing the 2017 sale of the Townhouse Hotel for £12.5m. Both properties, rooted in historical architecture, highlight the growing appetite for premium city centre accommodation particularly as Manchester’s hospitality scene attracts diverse clientele.

This move aligns with Roomzzz’s narrative of leveraging its unique properties to respond to market conditions. The brand has successfully established itself since opening its second site in 2015, indicating a robust demand for such lodgings in the city, validated by high occupancy rates and expansion to new locations.

The unencumbered sale allows operational flexibility, which remains critical in a rapidly evolving hospitality landscape. With other brands like Staycity also expanding, the question arises whether Manchester can sustain such growth or if this is a fleeting moment for investors to cash in on their assets.
