The Midland is one of Manchester's most luxurious and iconic hotels - a favourite with high-flyers, celebrities and politicians.
Set on its own block by St Peter's Square, the hotel is turning 120 later this year and recently underwent a £14m transformation as it emerged from the pandemic.
But while The Midland is a familiar name to most in and around the city, the secretive billionaire who snapped it up for £115m towards the end of 2018 is less well known.
