"This one time elegant warehouse in Manchester is now a gorgeous boutique hotel with a very theatrical style.  With its red and black décor, we think it’s reminiscent of the Moulin Rouge. It’s certainly stylish, whatever colour you’re hoping to paint the town."

Below you can see the building prior to its conversion into a hotel.  You can clearly see the staggered windows of the stair tower at the corner of Piccadilly and Auburn Street.

Below are two images showing the stair tower today and the original entrance which now provides access to the Brasserie.

The Rochdale Canal passes beneath the building on its way from the Dale Street Basin to its junction with the Bridgewater Canal, in Castlefield.

The entrance on Piccadilly incorporates a new extension by Darby Associates, who were responsible for the conversion of the old building.
