First guests arrive at Manchester’s CitySuites apartment scheme

Serviced accommodation brand CitySuites has welcomed the first guests at its flagship Manchester development.

The residential brand, which is aiming to help the city up its game as a centre for business and tourism, opened the doors to the scheme for the first time yesterday (February 1).

CitySuites is led by newly appointed operations director Gavin Bailey.

Discussing the development’s launch Gavin, who has previously worked for CitySuites parent firm Select Property Group and automakers Ferrari and Porsche, said: “CitySuites will revolutionise Manchester’s business travel scene and I’m looking forward to being the driving force of its operations.

“We are the only luxury serviced apartment offering in the city that provides properties that are more liveable than hotels, more personal than existing serviced apartments and more desirable than any other business travel option on the market.”

He added: “We have had an intense training schedule in the weeks leading up to our launch and I am delighted to be opening the doors and welcoming our first guests into their new home from home.”

CitySuites’ 17-storey complex houses 237 self-contained apartments, a 24-hour reception and gym, an 18m swimming pool and spa pool and valet parking services.

Guests have the option of staying from a week up to 12 months or more.
