The Place is right in the heart of the city (adjacent to Piccadilly Station and the Metropolitan terminus) and, since its launch, has wasted no time in becoming one of the most talked about developments in town. Originally, The Place was the 150-year-old London Warehouse - but the building has been renovated and refurbished over four years, and turned phoenix-like into Manchester 's first luxury apartment hotel. Each of the 108 units at The Place are equipped to the highest standards with a host of exclusive services - so this is loft apartment living with all the amenities of a first-class hotel, available to guests who want to stay for just one night, or longer. The Place has quickly become an urban phenomenon.
The Place is one of Manchester 's best hotels.
