Aloft by Marriott opens first Manchester hotel in Deansgate

It is the first of the brand to open in Manchester and is part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 hotel brands.

The hotel, named Aloft by Marriott Manchester City Centre, is a 358-room hotel located on Deansgate.

The property officially opened on June 16 and is close to Deansgate-Castlefield Metrolink stop and destinations such as Manchester Central Convention Centre, Spinningfields and Oxford Road.

Abi Hindle, general manager, said: “We’re thrilled to open the very first Aloft by Marriott in a city known for its warm hospitality.

“Aloft by Marriott is a fantastic addition to Manchester’s already flourishing hospitality landscape, and we look forward to welcoming guests from near and far.”

Developed by Dean Street Developments, the hotel offers panoramic views of the city skyline.

Sandra Schulze-Potgieter, vice president, brand management, EMEA at Marriott International, said Aloft’s identity is a strong match for Manchester.

Ms Schulze-Potgieter said: “We are delighted to introduce Aloft by Marriott to Manchester, bringing this upscale, lifestyle brand to one of the UK’s most dynamic cities.

“Aloft is different by design.

“It is a hub, or launching and landing pad for all that travel has in store, bringing our unique attitude and atmosphere to each and every stay, now also in Manchester – a city internationally recognised for its creativity, individuality, and innovation.”

The hotel offers family-friendly amenities through the Camp Aloft programme for children, and welcomes pets with the Arf (Animals R Fun) scheme, which includes in-room toys and treats.

Other facilities include a 24-hour fitness centre and a private meeting space for business travellers.

Room rates start from £95 per night.
