Plans for a £60m boutique Dakota hotel next to Manchester Airport have been given the green light. The hotel chain was given approval by Manchester city council’s planning team under delegated powers.
The 154-bedroom hotel is expected to inject approximately £12m a year to the local economy, with 150 jobs for local people. It will have a gross internal area of 84,000 sq ft.
It will be the second in Manchester for Dakota Hotels, complementing its city centre hotel on Ducie Street, and will be located off Enterprise Way on a three-acre plot at Mix Manchester.
Enabling and preparation works are already underway on site and contractor GMI Construction is lined up to start construction works shortly.
