MANCHESTER – Hilton (NYSE: HLT) is bringing its lifestyle brand Motto by Hilton to the heart of Manchester following the signing of an agreement with owner-partner, Dean Street Developments Limited.
Marking the brand’s debut, the 21-storey Motto by Hilton Manchester Piccadilly will be located in the lively Piccadilly Basin, moments away from Manchester Piccadilly station. Set to open in 2027, the hotel will offer 154 rooms, a restaurant, bar and fitness space.
Designed to help guests tap into a city’s energy, Motto by Hilton offers experiences connected to the local area, combining the best elements of a lifestyle hotel, including cleverly compact rooms, vibrant social areas, and a lively and unique food and drink venue.
Nick Smart, vice president, development, UK, Ireland and the Nordics, Hilton, said, “Manchester has firmly established itself as a leading travel hotspot, drawing millions with its dynamic mix of leisure, business, and world-class sport. We’re excited to build on this momentum with the city’s first Motto by Hilton.

We thank Dean Street Developments for their valued partnership and vision in bringing this exciting development to the city of Manchester.”
