Mollie’s Manchester has transformed part of the famous Old Granada Studios into a stylish 128-room hotel, American diner and late-night music venue. Here are five reasons to visit.
1. Sleep Inside Manchester’s Television History
Old Granada Studios once produced some of Britain’s most memorable television. Mollie’s preserves the building’s character while giving it a colourful new life.
2. The Rooms Feel Thoughtfully Different
Natural oak, terrazzo bathrooms, Conran furniture and Egyptian cotton sheets lift the rooms above standard city-hotel territory. Larger studios, suites and four-person bunk rooms are also available.
3. Start the Day in a Proper Diner Booth
Mollie’s Diner serves breakfast stacks, burgers, shakes and unlimited coffee in a retro American setting. It opens daily from 6.30am until 10pm.
4. Stay for the Music at Studio IV
Hidden inside the building, Studio IV combines cocktails with live music and DJ sets spanning soul, funk, disco and jazz-influenced electronic sounds.
5. Visit Without Booking a Bedroom
Mollie’s works equally well for breakfast, lunch, cocktails or an evening with friends. Its location near Spinningfields, Castlefield and Deansgate makes it an easy addition to a Manchester day out.
