Marking a milestone as the first of its kind in the UK, Airport City Manchester has commenced work on the construction of a brand new 412-bedroom TRIBE hotel. The £42m construction contract for the hotel was awarded to MY construction in 2021 with the hotel build expected to take 24 months and be fully operational in Q1 2024.
Once complete, the nine-storey, 12,300m2 hotel will feature 412 rooms and suites, a restaurant and bar, a gym and a dedicated crew lounge for airline staff. Set in the heart of Airport City Manchester’s hotel district it will be the third new hotel to be built at the development. The other two hotels are due to open in Summer 2022.
“We’re delighted to have been awarded this latest contract at Airport City Manchester,” said Yoav Tal, Managing Director at MY Construction. “During the past 16 years we’ve delivered over 25,000 keys of premium hotel developments across the coutnry, so it’s great to be working with Airport City Manchester development team and Accor on building what will be the first TRIBE hotel in the UK.”
Speaking on behalf of Manchester Airports Group (MAG), Gareth Jackson, Group Property Managing Director, added: “Seeing construction commence on our third hotel on-site is another fantastic landmark at Airport City Manchester. The hotel district is a key element of the development, providing a crucial amenity cluster between The Hut Group campus, the wider business district, and one of the UK’s busiest airports.”
