Treehouse Hotel Manchester<\/a>, an art-forward accommodation in the heart of the city center, prides itself in working with local artists and creatives. Opened in March 2025, the award-nominated property joins the company\u2019s prestigious portfolio of hotels in sought-after destinations around the world, including London and Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n The Treehouse Hotels properties have a distinct DNA that\u2019s rooted in nature, but according to Neil Andrew, Vice President of Design for the Europe, Middle East and Africa markets, the Manchester location deserved its own voice within that framework. When designing the hotel, the team leaned into the city\u2019s industrial heritage, while music references, local art and collaborations with Manchester makers give the space a character that is unmistakably Mancunian.<\/p>\n As guests enter the lobby, they\u2019re welcomed by a bright and airy space designed head-to-toe in reclaimed wood, whimsical pops of color and towering greenery. Birdhouses are dotted around the space as a nod to the property\u2019s woodland inspiration. Ceiling lights are designed to cast woodland-like shadows onto the floor, creating the feeling of walking through dappled forest light.<\/p>\n Recently, the hotel partnered with Music of the Senses Trail \u2014 a citywide celebration of Manchester\u2019s legendary music scene. Oasis, The Stone Roses and The Smiths are just a handful of the incredible musicians that hailed from the city.<\/p>\n \u201cBy hosting one of these iconic guitars, we connected our guests directly to Manchester\u2019s cultural story, while also reinforcing Treehouse\u2019s playful and creative spirit,\u201d Andrew explained.<\/p>\n The hotel\u2019s restaurant, Pip<\/a>, is located in the lobby area and boasts a unique menu of locally and internationally inspired dishes by Mary-Ellen McTague. Visually, the restaurant was designed to blend in with the rest of the property while also featuring talkable design moments that will enhance the dining experience.<\/p>\n Bedrooms range from King rooms to studio suites and are designed to feel like a calming sanctuary in the bustling city.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re warm, tactile and playful, filled with reclaimed wood, organic fabrics and plenty of greenery,\u201d Andrew said. \u201cWe wanted to create a space that feels cozy and personal, like your own treehouse, while still offering the modern comforts and luxuries our guests expect. Every detail is layered to bring texture, comfort and a touch of surprise and carefreeness,\u201d<\/p>\n Guests can purchase certain items featured in the bedrooms, bringing a touch of Treehouse Hotels magic to their own homes. Soft furnishings such as bedspreads and cushions, as well as locally made goods and unique artisan creations, can be purchased from the hotel\u2019s lobby store<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cSo many of our guests tell us they wish they could take the Treehouse feeling home with them,\u201d Andrew explained. \u201cIt\u2019s not just d\u00e9cor, these pieces carry the memories of their stay, so they can keep a little piece of Treehouse with them long after they\u2019ve checked out, and often purchased at the inhouse Knick-Knacks retail store.\u201d<\/p>\n Sustainability is at the heart of the hotel. Materials are carefully chosen based off environmental impact, with reclaimed wood, recycled textiles and organic cottons used throughout the property. \u201cWe use low-VOC paints and upcycled finishes wherever possible,\u201d noted Andrew. \u201cThese choices aren\u2019t just aesthetic; they\u2019re a commitment to reducing our footprint while building spaces that last,\u201d<\/p>\n Treehouse Hotel Manchester\u2019s impact doesn\u2019t stop within the property\u2019s walls. The team collaborated with Manchester-based artist Caroline Dowsett<\/a>, who currently serves as the artist in residence, to create bespoke bird boxes which are located in green spaces throughout the city center. Guests can also purchase her original pieces and prints directly from the hotel. \u201cFor us, it\u2019s important that the hotel doesn\u2019t just sit in Manchester, but actively reflects and supports the city\u2019s creative energy,\u201d commented Andrew.<\/p>\nMORE FROM FORBES<\/h3>\n
