Looming large at the far end of Manchester's Deansgate is a major new hotel that will soon open to guests. Treehouse Hotel has fast taken shape at the prime city centre site on the corner of Blackfriars Street and Deansgate.
It has taken root on the site of what was once Manchester's Renaissance Hotel - a brutalist building that many had considered a concrete carbuncle. Now, the 14-storey tower has been completely redeveloped in a £200m project, with the main entrance to the hotel to front onto the River Irwell.
Bosses have this week confirmed that the hotel is on course to open in "early 2023". And they have also announced that the recruitment drive for some 220 new job roles inside the hotel has now begun.
