NOW OPEN: THE MANCHESTER HOTEL INSPIRED BY THE CITY’S UNIQUE HERITAGE

Now open: The Reach at Piccadilly, Manchester – A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary brands – celebrates Manchester’s industrial history and the pioneers who made the city what it is today.

Situated in the city centre, just a 90-second walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station, The Reach at Piccadilly features a chic and captivating design, with 215 impressive guest rooms, eight suites and a ground-floor restaurant & bar: Lock 84.

The Reach at Piccadilly lends its design influence to the city’s rich industrial heritage. Located on Ducie Street, the 11-storey building towers over the Rochdale Canal, which was once used to transport coal across the city; the hotel’s bespoke concept and decor draws much inspiration from this locale.

Guests can expect nautical, nostalgic interiors, with quality craftsmanship and greenery scattered throughout. The canal side location is also reflected in the use of bespoke Manchester artwork, activated charcoal toiletries in the bathrooms, and a twist on the traditional ‘fourpenny’ drink, which was historically used by workers to toast the end of the day.

The restaurant, Lock 84, incorporates the city’s heritage in a variety of ways. Expect all-day dining, featuring speciality small plates and the best, sustainably sourced and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. Whilst taking inspiration from all around the world, including theuse of a Japanese style grill in the kitchen, the menu is primarily based around British dishes. From an a la carte breakfast menu to a tailored tasting menu, there is something for everyone to enjoy. This includes an excellent selection of wines, beers, and non-alcoholic drinks.

The Reach at Piccadilly forms part of Tribute Portfolio, a collection of characterful, independent hotels from Marriott Bonvoy that are drawn together by their passion for captivating design and a drive to create vibrant social scenes for guests and locals alike. All Tribute Portfolio hotels have their own unique vibe.

The Reach at Piccadilly prides itself on its Manchester-led authenticity and collaboration with local partners. From corporate bookers and tourist explorers to couples, families, and furry friends (dogs are welcome), every guest can expect a warm, ‘Northern’ welcome and a sincere service from check-in to check-out. This welcoming atmosphere is enhanced by a reception area featuring plants by Giraffe Flowers.

Peter Nye, General Manager at The Reach at Piccadilly, said: “We are delighted to unveil this new and exciting addition to the city’s thriving hospitality scene.

When creating the concept for the hotel, we have been conscious to create an authentic Manchester experience for guests to fully encompass. Our teams have worked tirelessly over thepast few months to ensure our guests experience the very best of the city’s supply network. They’ll be able to enjoy produce grown only a few miles away, drink a great cup of coffee which has been roasted around the corner, and sip on unique, locally brewed beer. We really are very excited to welcome guests from around the world.”
