Well, the rumours that something was ‘up’ at Hilton Manchester Deansgate, situated in the Beetham Tower, were true.

The management contract with Hilton was apparently coming to an end and the rooms were getting very tired. What would happen?

Now we know. InterContinental is coming to Manchester.

InterContinental Manchester Deansgate on the way as the Hilton rebrands

The 264 room hotel will rebrand as InterContinental Manchester Deansgate by 2027.

It will remain open during the transformation and will operate as an independent hotel – The Manchester Deansgate Hotel – whilst the work is being done. It will be bookable on the IHG website during this period, despite being unbranded.

The hotel sits in the 47-storey Beetham Tower, taking up 22 floors. It fills a hole in the InterContinental portfolio, with the brand have two sites in London and one in Edinburgh.

Hilton can console itself with the fact that, as we exclusively revealed, the largest Hampton in the UK is being developed in a new skyscraper in front of Beetham Tower.

Other upcoming developments in the city include Marriott’s W brand.

The date of the switch is not yet known. Hilton is still accepting bookings up to 30th April 2026.

    With a good revamp it will be a nice addition. My hope however is that IHG can get some IC’s into the Nordics.

  • Paul Bobo says:

    Bit gutted about this. Best Executive lounge outside London, had a great time there last week.

    • Simon Schus says:

      It was my go-to in Manchester, as the executive lounge was a nice way to hang out with a friend or two. Hopefully the executive lounge space and purpose will continue, under new management. I have an upcoming visit in July before Oasisssssssssssssss and suspect it’ll be the last visit under Hilton flag.

      Best lounge outside London is in Gateshead for the views across to Newcastle

    • TGLoyalty says:

      Have to say IC lounges are very good when they have them fair better than most other brands.

  • yorkshireRich says:

    Looking forward to staying there. Stayed at Hilton during covid. Wasn”t spectacular, but I wouldn’t say it was bad.

  • Throwawayname says:

    On a completely different note, @Rob and team, do you have any information about upcoming changes to Dragonpass? There was an email this morning saying that they’ll be revealing something next week.

    • Rob says:

      No – and I’ve had an email from the UK CEO this week as well (that was re the HfP party next week).

  • Alex B says:

    The Double Tree Hilton by the station I’ve always found to be very good.
