Dakota Hotels has lodged proposals to build a 154-bedroom boutique hotel at MIX Manchester.
The scheme, which has a gross development value of £60m, sits adjacent to Manchester Airport. It will feature a bar and brasserie-style grill on the ground floor of a 84,335 sq ft building. The hotel will also provide 130 car parking spaces and offer a shuttle service to and from the airport terminals.
MIX Manchester is a three-acre site that will see the creation of a 2m sq ft science, innovation and manufacturing campus. Dakota’s hotel will join other new amenities on the site, including additional hotel and leisure facilities and public realm, all of which are designed to complement the development’s wider masterplan.
Andrew Ovenstone, managing director at Dakota Hotels, said: “We are continually seeking sites for our new hotels as we grow our portfolio across the North.
“The new hotel is expected to inject £12m per annum to the local economy, with 150 jobs for local people and we have undertaken a local community consultation to help inform the planning application.”
Gareth Jackson, group property director at Manchester Airports Group, said: “With 28m passengers travelling through the airport every year, this will further boost Manchester’s reputation as a destination for businesses, tourists and is a great additional to the local domestic market.”
