The Midland hotel in Manchester is set to feature in a fly-on-the-wall documentary series which will air on June 1 on Channel 5 at 9pm.
Produced by Chocolate Media – part of NBC Universal International Television Production – the four-part documentary, Inside Manchester’s Midland Hotel, will follow the ‘ups and downs’ of the hotel through the eyes of its staff.
Mike Magrane, general manager at The Midland, part of the QHotels group, said: “The new series will provide an insight into one of the most historic hotels in the country.
“We’ve opened the doors of our Grade II listed building to give the British public a glimpse into the people – and characters – that make our award-winning restaurants, renowned conference and events facilities and world-class leisure offering so unique.”
Alan Brown, executive producer for Chocolate Media, said: “It’s extraordinary to get the chance to film inside because what you see as a guest is only a part of the hotel. Behind the walls and doors is a labyrinth of floors and corridors like a grand ocean liner and that’s not to mention the hundreds of staff.
“We’ve met some great characters that are not just super professional but boast warmth and a sense of humour that reflects the city.”
Earlier this month, The Midland announced that it will be opening a new spa offering featuring a full thermal spa, split-level gym, eight treatment rooms, relaxation pool and a dedicated spa cafe.
