Built just off St Peter's Square and with views of some of Manchester's most historic buildings as well as Big Santa in the run up to Christmas, this new hotel block has become in high demand with tourists. Motel One is based in the first eight floors of the new hotel building, while floors 9 to 20 are taken by the Wilde aparthotel above it.
And both hotels have been given high praise by visitors on Tripadvisor who rave about the "amazing" central location and stylish, modern interiors of both new hotels. And for those with rooms on the west side of the building, there's stunning views looking out on one of Manchester's most iconic focal points.
Looking out across St Peter's Square, the view takes in the distinctive round building of the city's Central Library, as well as the rear of the Town Hall. In the background is Manchester's historic Midland Hotel, while in the foreground is the newly-installed statue honouring Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.
