IHG Hotels & Resorts introduces The Manchester Deansgate Hotel, UK

Posted in News on 26 August, 2025

IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the latest addition to its luxury portfolio: The Manchester Deansgate Hotel.

Located in the heart of Manchester’s city centre within the iconic Beetham Tower, this landmark property begins a bold new chapter this month as it celebrates its official transition from Hilton to IHG Hotels & Resorts.

The rebrand is accompanied by the appointment of Konstantin Grimm as General Manager – an esteemed hospitality leader with over 18 years of experience driving success across luxury hotels, including Manchester’s Kimpton Clocktower Hotel. This new role marks a homecoming for Konstantin, who previously served as Manager of the hotel’s luxury Cloud 23 cocktail bar – renowned for its standout drinks and panoramic views of the Manchester skyline.

The hotel is set to become an InterContinental by 2027, marking a significant milestone as the fifth InterContinental property in IHG Hotels & Resorts’ UK and Ireland portfolio. Throughout this transition period, it will operate as The Manchester Deansgate Hotel.

While a refurbishment is on the horizon, it remains business as usual for both guests and staff, with the full team staying in place and service continuing without interruption. Guests can look forward to the same high standards and amenities, with Cloud 23 and Podium Bar & Restaurant remaining open as usual.

Konstantin Grimm, General Manager, said: “It’s a privilege to return and lead the hotel into this exciting new chapter. I have fond memories of the hotel in its previous form and I’m looking forward to what comes next. Importantly, it’s business as usual for our valued guests. The hotel remains fully operational and will continue to deliver the high standard of service guests know and expect. All future enhancements will be carefully managed to ensure a seamless experience.”

The Manchester Deansgate Hotel will further cement IHG Hotels & Resorts’ position as the largest global hotel company in the UK and Ireland, where it currently operates 363* open hotels and has 33* in development.
