Interstate Hotels & Resorts, Aimbridge Hospitality’s international division, has been named as the management company for England’s first ‘Tribe’ hotel, part of the Accor family, set to open at Manchester Airport in 2023.
Owned by H3 Hotels S.a.r.l, the nine-floor, new-build hotel, which will house 412 rooms and suites as well as four restaurants and bars, a gym and a crew lounge for airline staff, will be located on Manchester Airport’s Chicago Avenue.
The property forms part of Airport City Manchester, a £1billion development site encompassing hotels and retail, as well as offices, advanced manufacturing and logistics facilities.
The signing marks Interstate’s third management contract at the Airport City Manchester site, joining the 280-guest room Holiday Inn and 262-guest room ibis Budget properties due to open in 2022.
