Henry Boot Developments is working in partnership with hotel management company Khanna Enterprises to bring Moxy, a Marriott International brand, to Manchester.
Planning has been submitted for a 130-bed hotel at its Silk Works development in Spinningfields, currently known as Invicta House.
This change-of-use application follows planning consent for the redevelopment of the building for office use at the end of last year. Situated on Atkinson Street and Scott Place, the eight-storey scheme will comprise the refurbishment and extension of Invicta House, adding a further 35,000 sq ft to the existing 15,000 sq ft. The new extension will sit behind the existing façade on Atkinson Street, with the new-build element clad in weathered steel.
