Architect named for luxury Manchester hotel
The Peel Group has appointed architects Allies & Morrison to design its new luxury hotel project in Manchester.
Architects from across Europe were invited to take part in a competition - organised by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) - to design the hotel, which will be located on the site of the former Worsley New Hall in Greater Manchester.
Worsley New Hall was a historically significant manor house that was visited in its time by both Queen Victoria and King Edward VII.
The original building was demolished in 1949 but Peel - which owns the land - plans to redevelop the site as a golf course and hotel and bring the hall's Victorian gardens back to life.
Allies & Morrison were selected unanimously by the RIBA panel after fighting off competition from Edward Cullinan Architects, Feilden Clegg Bradley, Henning Larsen Architects, Hopkins and Ian Simpson Architects.
Peter Nears, strategic planning director at Peel, said: "I'd like to thank the RIBA for running an excellent competition and look forward to working with Allied & Morrison to produce an exceptional hotel building for the site of the former Worsley New Hall."
