Hotel, homes and retail plan for Chapel Street

A 20-storey hotel together with a rooftop bar and three apartment blocks featuring shops and town houses is planned for Chapel Street in Salford.

Developers ECP Holdings has submitted an application to Salford City Council for the development at the junction of Chapel Street, Trinity Way and Gore Street.

The scheme has been designed by OMI Architects with input from Gerald Eve on behalf of ECP.

If approved, the project will include a 206-bedroom hotel with 11 serviced apartments, ground-level reception bar and restaurant and a rooftop sky-bar.

There will also be 221 apartments, varying in size between one to three beds, in three blocks from 11 to 15 storeys high.

It also includes a pedestrian route through the middle of the site to connect Chapel Street to the New Bailey area on the opposite side of the railway viaduct that runs along the southern edge of the 1.66 acre site.

“This route offers a direct connection to Spinningfields and the heart of Manchester City Centre and the project will play a part in defining the nature of this linkage,” the application says.

“The proposal involves the creation of two groups of buildings that sit either side of this public route and form two private courtyard gardens.”

The authority is due to decide on the application on July 27.
