Whitbread has selected GMI Construction Group as principal contractor to bring forward its latest hotel development in Manchester city centre.
GMI will lead the construction of the 10-storey building on Rochdale Road on the edge of Manchester’s Northern Quarter.
Whitbread acquired the site from Premcor in February.
The scheme comprises a 229-bedroom Premier Inn hotel with restaurant and bar on the ground floor.
Construction is anticipated to commence in September.
On opening, the Premier Inn at Rochdale Road will be Whitbread’s seventh hotel in central Manchester and one of its largest in the city.
Will Steward, project and programme manager at Whitbread, said: “Whitbread acquired the Rochdale Road development site in February 2024 with the premise of bringing about a speedy transformation of the location into a latest format Premier Inn hotel. Appointing GMI as principal contractor continues this positive momentum, and we hope to break ground and start building our latest Manchester hotel this autumn.”
