There's a huge new hotel right next to Manchester Airport's Terminal 2 - and it's aiming to challenge perceptions. The 280-bedroom hotel is the newest in the Holiday Inn stable, but with some stylish twists that those familiar with the brand may not quite expect.
The hotel has opened this week as part of the Airport City development, with its sister venue, the budget hotel Ibis, opening next door to it last November. The £45m development represents the first new hotels that have opened for eight years at Manchester Airport.
But they will not be the last on the ambitious £7bn Airport City site. In the next year, they will be joined by a fellow IHG hotels stablemate, Tribe, which is fast taking shape behind them on the site just a two minute walk into Terminal 2 at the International Airport.
