Treehouse Hotel Manchester is Now Open

A whimsical oasis has just landed in one of the UK’s most vibrant cities! Treehouse Hotels, known for their nostalgic and free-spirited approach to hospitality, unveiled their newest location, Treehouse Hotel Manchester, on March 19, 2025. This unique addition to Manchester’s hospitality scene, which follows the brand’s successful launch in London back in 2019, promises to invoke curiosity and excitement at every corner, creating a welcoming space for dreamers, explorers, and the creatively inclined.

A Playful Escape in the Heart of the City

Located strategically at the intersection of Blackfriars Street and Deansgate, the hotel channels the charm and joy reminiscent of childhood treehouses while embodying Manchester's dynamic energy. From detail-oriented design to comfortable, inviting spaces, every nook is crafted to inspire imagination. Barry Sternlicht, the founder of Treehouse Hotels and Chairman of Starwood Hotels, emphasizes that the brand captures the essence of childhood creativity and carefree adventures, creating environments meant for mingling and making memories.

“It’s about having fun and embracing a sense of freedom,” Sternlicht noted during the opening. Raul Leal, CEO of Starwood Hotels, echoed these sentiments, highlighting Manchester's rich cultural and musical landscape as the perfect backdrop for Treehouse Hotel's vision.

Design Rooted in Nostalgia and Creativity

Guests at Treehouse Hotel Manchester will be welcomed through a lobby that resembles a fantastical forest with its dramatic indoor-outdoor tree atrium and lush greenery overhead. This playful design features wall-to-wall windows that offer stunning vistas of the surrounding cityscape, while the interior integrates raw materials, handcrafted decor, and quirky elements, making it a visually stimulating retreat.

The hotel celebrates the beautiful imperfections of life, much like childhood itself. Visitors can expect surprises at each turn – from cozy reading alcoves to imaginative murals that invite interaction. A rooftop apiary adds to the magic, allowing guests to overlook the city along with views of a flourishing landscape.

Culinary Adventures Await

Treehouse Hotel Manchester stands out as a gastronomic hotspot featuring three restaurants and bars designed to redefine the local dining experience. The culinary journey begins at Pip by Mary-Ellen McTague, a vibrant eatery focused on locally sourced ingredients and inventive takes on traditional dishes. Think home-smoked mackerel, Lancashire hotpot, and delightful rhubarb desserts, all served in an inviting atmosphere that fosters community dining.

The hotel's rooftop bar, The Nest, will launch later this year, promising high-energy nights filled with creative cocktails and lively entertainment curated by Manchester’s nightlife veterans. Above this buzz, The Hideout, an intimate lounge, will offer a private setting for special gatherings, while the much-anticipated Sister Moon restaurant will feature Southeast Asian influences crafted by acclaimed chef Sam Grainger.

Cultivating Community and Engagement

Treehouse Hotel Manchester serves as more than just a place to stay; it is a hub for culture, connection, and creativity. The lively program includes curated music performances, film screenings, and even resident artists showcasing their work throughout the hotel. A dedicated screening room offers a cozy space for intimate film gatherings and storytelling nights. Meanwhile, spontaneous events, workshops, and nostalgic board games encourage guests to engage and connect in playful ways.

Additionally, the hotel embraces a dog-friendly policy, ensuring that every guest’s best friend can join in on the adventures, adding to the whimsical experience that the Treehouse brand champions.
