Brooklyn comes to Manchester

A new design-led place to stay that draws inspiration from one of New York’s best-known boroughs is set to open in the heart of Manchester in two months’ time in the shape of the 189-room Hotel Brooklyn.

The name was chosen to reflect the similarities between the two communities in terms of Victorian brownstone houses, buzzing industrial growth and the strength of their identity and culture.

The design of the bedrooms has been inspired by Brooklyn’s loft spaces with the addition of special features emphasising quality and high-spec finishes. Beds have brass adornments, while Turkish rugs contrast with the concrete floors.

Bathrooms have been angled to allow their back walls and semi-opaque windows to look out across the guestrooms, while street-art wall features finish off the bold design direction.

Hotel Brooklyn’s bar and restaurant, named Runyon’s after Damon Runyon, the American writer renowned for his depictions of Brooklyn characters, will present a diverse menu showcasing European and American influences.

On the top floor of the hotel, Salvation is a dedicated events bar, featuring exposed brickwork, pop art and neon lights to create a lively destination space for what general manager Paul Bayliss calls the UK’s pre-eminent Northern city.
