A 38-storey student tower, 13-storey office block and nine-storey piece of artwork would replace the city centre Premier Inn
A Manchester city centre hotel is set to be demolished to make way for a 38-storey skyscraper of student accommodation and a 13-storey office building. The Premier Inn at Deansgate Locks would be replaced by purpose-built student flats which would accommodate 1,014 rooms under the new plans.
He said: "Manchester is one of the most popular locations for Premier Inn customers in the UK and we want to ensure our hotels in the city provide a consistently high standard of accommodation for our guests. We have recently invested in new rooms in Manchester city centre, including the new 157-bedroom Premier Inn on Princess Street as part of the Circle Square development, just a short walk away from the site at Medlock Street.
The scheme is expected to support 475 jobs and give a £198m economic boost during construction, and when finished, it would have room for 2,200 office jobs and contribute £1.6m in business rates a year, according to the developer. The student rooms would be 'high specification' and 'professionally-managed', the developer said, and meet an urgent need for this type of accommodation.
