Hampton by Hilton Hotel opens in Rochdale

The Hilton Group has announced the opening of a new 146-room Hampton by Hilton Hotel in Rochdale town centre, as part of the £65m Upperbanks development by the Rochdale Development Agency on behalf of Rochdale Borough council.
The group’s new Manchester opening is its first in Rochdale and will be operated by the UK hotel management company, Legacy Hotels and Resorts.
Located next to the Rochdale Riverside shopping and leisure centre, the hotel features a fitness centre complete with Peloton bikes and a F&B offering, which will be housed in the lobby area.
The hotel contains “bright and modern” guest rooms, high speed wi-fi and the brand’s signature complimentary hot breakfast.
Graham Dodd, managing director of Hilton Development UK&I, said: “Regeneration led town centres, like Rochdale, which have benefited from large scale investment, are prime sites for the Hampton by Hilton brand as it continues its expansion.
“The proximity of the hotel to the brand-new retail and leisure development, and the wider town centre, will be a real draw for guests and we look forward to welcoming them to this fantastic new property.”
Andy Townsend, CEO of Legacy Hotels and Resorts, added: “We’re delighted to have opened the doors in Rochdale today to our third Hampton by Hilton Hotel in the UK. There’s a real market for a new high-quality hotel to complement the wider hospitality offering in the borough and create more choice and variety for people looking to stay in the area.
“We have an exceptional team in place, many of whom are Rochdale residents, and they will be led by general manager, Ashleigh Thompson, who herself hails from Littleborough.”
