Now open: The Reach at Piccadilly, Manchester – A Tribute Portfolio Hotel, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of more than 30 extraordinary brands – celebrates Manchester’s industrial history and the pioneers who made the city what it is today.
Situated in the city centre, just a 90-second walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station, The Reach at Piccadilly features a chic and captivating design, with 215 impressive guest rooms, eight suites and a ground-floor restaurant & bar: Lock 84.
The Reach at Piccadilly lends its design influence to the city’s rich industrial heritage. Located on Ducie Street, the 11-storey building towers over the Rochdale Canal, which was once used to transport coal across the city; the hotel’s bespoke concept and decor draws much inspiration from this locale.
Guests can expect nautical, nostalgic interiors, with quality craftsmanship and greenery scattered throughout. The canal side location is also reflected in the use of bespoke Manchester artwork, activated charcoal toiletries in the bathrooms, and a twist on the traditional ‘fourpenny’ drink, which was historically used by workers to toast the end of the day.
The restaurant, Lock 84, incorporates the city’s heritage in a variety of ways. Expect all-day dining, featuring speciality small plates and the best, sustainably sourced and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. Whilst taking inspiration from all around the world, including theuse of a Japanese style grill in the kitchen, the menu is primarily based around British dishes. From an a la carte breakfast menu to a tailored tasting menu, there is something for everyone to enjoy. This includes an excellent selection of wines, beers, and non-alcoholic drinks.
The Reach at Piccadilly forms part of Tribute Portfolio, a collection of characterful, independent hotels from Marriott Bonvoy that are drawn together by their passion for captivating design and a drive to create vibrant social scenes for guests and locals alike. All Tribute Portfolio hotels have their own unique vibe.
