Crowne Plaza/Staybridge Suites (now Hyatt Regency and Hyatt House Manchester)

Manchester’s dual-branded Crowne Plaza/Staybridge Suites hotel will help redefine the way hotel groups provide UK hospitality. The era of the co-branded hotel in Britain is gathering pace, according to industry experts, just months ahead of the opening of the ‘double-decker’ hotel on Oxford Road, Manchester, early 2018. Management have shunned the traditional job interview in favour of X-Factor style auditions. The process will identify star candidates with the most personality, creativity and passion. Not forgetting it’s role as part of Manchester’s ever-growing hotel industry, and to celebrate its iconic location, all meeting rooms are named after famous Manchester University alumni.
