Pod hotels are coming to Manchester. Birmingham-based operator Nitenite, which offers rooms just 70 sq ft in size, is planning to open in the city centre, and has identified a site near Piccadilly Station. The group only operates one other UK hotel, in Birmingham, which opened in 2007. All the rooms offer free Wi-Fi, films and bottled water and rooms will have a rack rate of about £55. The company, which would not disclose the exact location of its Manchester hotel, said its concept was “not about being the most budget hotel on the market”, although it did want to be affordable. Colin Hatt, Nitenite’s chief executive, told Crain’s that its rooms were based on “a luxury yacht cabin” and said it was positioned away from the “no-frills” end of the market. [source]
