The Medlock, a Radisson Blu hotel set to open in partnership between Manchester City and Radisson Hotel Group later this year, has shared new images of what guests can expect.
The announcement marks a key milestone for the Club’s wider development of the area as an entertainment destination, which will see a range of new offerings available on site, including a museum experience, restaurants and more.
With a name inspired by the River Medlock that runs underneath the Etihad Campus and connects the area to the city, the hotel’s wider brand features a ‘laidback, welcoming design that builds on the city’s industrial heritage and has unique Mancunian touches throughout.’
As part of the Radisson Blu portfolio, The Medlock is a 401-room ‘upper-upscale hotel’ – including a premium penthouse suite. The hotel also offers attractive opportunities for MICE organisers, with access to a range of meeting & event spaces at the Etihad Stadium, as well as its convenient proximity to Manchester city centre.
The hotel will be operated by industry-recognised hotel management company, Valor Hospitality.
Richard Pearson, General Manager of The Medlock, said: “Today marks a key milestone as we unveil The Medlock‘s brand and full look and feel. Inspired by our location, the identity celebrates the character, energy and spirit of the place we call home: Manchester. With bookings officially open, it’s an exciting step as we move closer to opening later this year.”
Adela Cristea, Chief Development Officer UK, Ireland & Nordics at Radisson Hotel group, added: “It’s exciting to see the hotel progress and reach this important stage, with bookings now open for guests from October onwards. Together with Manchester City Football Club we are creating a global flagship property within a world-class destination which will offer an exceptional experience for visitors coming to the city for business, leisure and events.”
