Commenting on the news, Paul Smith, property acquisitions manager at Whitbread, said:
“Whitbread is a long-standing investor in Manchester with six popular Premier Inn hotels in the city center and many more in the city region.
“In line with our seamless portfolio investment strategy, we are in the process of reconfiguring our hotel network in central Manchester to ensure we have the right number of rooms in the right parts of the city center for our guests.
“Our investment in the Rochdale Road development site brings a further 229 rooms to our secure development portfolio in a part of the city center where we are keen to expand our presence.
“The location ticks all the boxes for our guests and with Whitbread directly involved in the scheme we can ensure the development will progress at pace.”
