Manchester City have secured a partner for their new 401-room hotel, which is set to open in late 2026.
Radisson Hotel Group has announced its collaboration with the club.
The hotel is set to provide accommodation for music and sport fans who are attending events at the Etihad Stadium, visitors to the UK's largest indoor arena, Co-op Live, as well as guests exploring the wider entertainment destination and Manchester itself.
The Medlock will offer guests a choice of suites, deluxe and standard rooms, in addition to a luxury penthouse suite. Guests will also have access to a wide variety of food and drink outlets, a roof walk and museum experience, and commercial office space in the expanded stadium area.
The Medlock will join Radisson Blu and Radisson Hotel Group's portfolio of 1,520 hotels in operation and under development in locations worldwide.
