The grand opening of The Reach at Piccadilly took place on July 9, 2024, in Manchester. This stunning new hotel features 215 guest rooms and eight suites, as well as a ground-floor restaurant and bar called Lock 84. Guests can enjoy wine, dining, and watching canal boats navigate the stretch of water that winds through the city.

Located on Ducie Street, The Reach at Piccadilly’s 11-storey building towers over the Rochdale Canal, which was once used to transport coal across the city. Part of Marriott Bonvoy Porfolio, The Reach at Piccadilly is in Manchester city centre, just a 90-second walk from Manchester Piccadilly Station. The hotel’s bespoke concept and decor draws much inspiration from its locale.

The Reach at Piccadilly lends its design influence to the city’s industrial heritage. Known as the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester was once a thriving hub of textile production, earning it the nickname ‘‘Cottonopolis.’ The restaurant Lock 84, incorporates the city’s heritage in a variety of ways. Expect all-day dining, featuring speciality small plates and the best, sustainably sourced and seasonal ingredients from local suppliers. Whilst taking inspiration from all around the world, including the use of a Japanese style grill in the kitchen, the menu is primarily based around British dishes. From an a la carte breakfast menu to a tailored tasting menu, there is something for everyone to enjoy. This includes an excellent selection of wines, beers, and non-alcoholic drinks. 

Collaborating with local partners in Manchester is an essential aspect of The Reach at Piccadilly's food and drink offerings. Guests can savour locally grown produce, enjoy a cup of coffee roasted just around the corner, and indulge in locally brewed beer.

Stephen Bench, Managing Director of Lighthouse Hotel Management (the management company behind the new hotel), said: “We are delighted to launch this exciting addition to the portfolio. The Reach at Piccadilly prides itself on local authenticity and celebrating Manchester’s historical roots. Guests from around the world can certainly expect a warm, northern welcome.”
