"Manchester has a long and storied history as an industrial center, and a brief turn in the Nineties as one of the UK's most troubled cities. Like many of England's factory towns, it has remade itself in the image of a modern metropolis. The Malmaison is, in a way, a perfect microcosm of Manchester itself — this sleek and fashionable hotel was constructed from the husk of the long-derelict Joshua Hoyle cotton warehouse, and still bears the original brickwork and terracotta on its Edwardian exterior." - Tablet Hotels
