Woodroffe plans Manchester Yotel
YO! Sushi founder Simon Woodroffe is planning to launch his Yotel hotel brand in Manchester.
Plans have been submitted for a 258-bed hotel at 12-16 Piccadilly, just off Piccadilly Gardens.
According to the documents the hotel would accommodate the former Union Bank Building at 12 Piccadilly and a new, 20-storey tower on a vacant adjacent plot at 14-16.
Both sites are owned by Aneel Mussarat’s Manchester-based MCR Property group.
Yotel launched with a focus on air travellers and has sites at Gatwick, Heathrow and Schiphol in Amsterdam. But it also has a building close to New York’s Times Square.
The Manchester project has been designed by Stephenson:ISA Studio. Mr Woodroffe could not be reached for comment.
