Dalata Hotel Group has announced the official opening of its second Maldron Hotel in Manchester, which has created 32 new jobs.
The 188-bedroom hotel features the brand’s Grain and Grill restaurant and a Red Bean Roastery coffee dock. It also features two meeting rooms for business travellers.
Maldron Hotel Manchester Cathedral Quarter, which is Dalata’s fourth hotel in the city, adds to a portfolio which includes Clayton Hotel Manchester Airport, Clayton Hotel Manchester City Centre on Portland Street, and Maldron Hotel Manchester City Centre on Charles Street.
The new four-star hotel is also the group’s 54th hotel and the first of four new Maldron branded hotels set to open across the UK this summer.
Richard Dennell, GM of Maldron Hotel Manchester Cathedral Quarter, said: “We are proud to add to the area’s outstanding reputation and are looking forward to providing even more guests in Manchester the chance to enjoy the epic Maldron experience.
“Located just minutes from the legendary Arndale Shopping Centre, the impressive AO Arena and the city’s dynamic business districts, we’re in the perfect spot to be your adventure’s first step.”
He added: “For football fans, Maldron Hotel Manchester Cathedral Quarter is also the perfect choice as it is just a few minutes’ walk from Manchester Victoria Station providing excellent links to both Old Trafford and the Etihad Campus.”
The next three Maldron openings will be in Shoreditch, Brighton and Liverpool.
Dermot Crowley, CEO of Dalata Hotel Group, said: “We are very proud to open Maldron Hotel Manchester Cathedral Quarter, this is the second Maldron Hotel in Manchester and Dalata’s fourth hotel in the city. Manchester is a key location for Dalata and our success to date is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our people.
“Today’s opening increases our Manchester team to 291 employees and demonstrates our commitment to the delivery of our UK expansion strategy.”
He added: “We look forward to welcoming our guests today and over the coming months, to experience Dalata’s heart of hospitality.”
