Inside the extraordinary new 'Jenga' hotel that bosses hope will become a Manchester 'landmark'

There's a bold new addition to the burgeoning Manchester skyline in the form of the new "Jenga-like" Leonardo Hotel. The hotel, styled like white building blocks at a prime site on Great Ancoats Street, has long been catching the eye of motorists using the main arterial route through the city.

And finally, after an 18-month build, the hotel is ready to welcome its first guests here in Manchester. It's the first Leonardo Hotel in Greater Manchester, and the 16th across the UK as the hotel brand continues its rapid expansion across Europe.

Guests can expect a sleek and stylish hotel, with the white concrete theme of the exterior continued into the lobby with its sleek minimalist style. That is contrasted with green trees and vegetation that will be planted in each of the blocks jutting out of the side of the exterior which have earned its comparisons to the famous Jenga block game, as well as through the ground floor bar and restaurant Leo's.
