We have set out to celebrate the pioneering spirit of the past alongside the entrepreneurial spirit of Manchester today, and we cannot wait to welcome our first guests in Spring. When creating the concept for the hotel, we have been conscious to create an authentic experience for travellers to enjoy. Our guests will be able to enjoy produce grown only a few miles away at the restaurant, drink a great cup of coffee which has been roasted around the corner, and we're even working with local brewers to create a beer uniquely our own.

Peter Nye, General Manager of The Reach at Piccadilly

The hotel will be owned by Molo Hotels and operated by Lighthouse Hotel Management, and it will be the company's fifth UK opening and will join Molo and Lighthouse's expanding portfolio which also includes hotels in Aruba and Rome.
