With its booking lines now open, Dakota Hotels is gearing up to launch its new 154-room Manchester Airport property this July, bringing the brand’s signature dark, refined style right to the airport campus.

Positioned just minutes from all terminals, the hotel aims to elevate the pre‑flight experience with thoughtfully designed rooms featuring high‑quality linens, generous storage, workspaces, and rainfall showers. Suites will offer additional space and upgraded amenities for business travellers and long‑haul passengers.

On the ground floor, guests will find The Grill, Dakota’s brasserie-style restaurant, alongside a polished bar serving classic cocktails and all‑day small plates — a setting designed to feel more like a city lounge than an airport stopover.

Dakota positions the opening as a new standard for airport hospitality, blending convenience with the brand’s trademark understated luxury.
