A stunning new hotel from well-known operator Malmaison is soon to open in Manchester complete with a spectacular rooftop bar that will look out across Albert Square. It will become the second Malmaison Hotel in the city centre, following on from its original Piccadilly venue which has been open for the past 26 years.
Malmaison Deansgate is the name of the new venue - although it's not actually on Deansgate at all. The development has been underway for some time now at a prime spot on Princess Street - directly opposite Manchester Town hall.
Scaffolding has just started to come down off the front of the building, with the Malmaison sign now taking pride of place at the top of the building. And the intriguing development above the sign point to what we can expect from the city's latest rooftop bar and terrace.
