piccadilly hotel (now mercure hotel)

The Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel, located at 36 Piccadilly Plaza, Manchester, M1 4AJ, United Kingdom, was designed by Covell Matthews and Partners and completed in 1965. The complex comprises three elements: the Piccadilly Hotel, Sunley House, and Bernard House, all rising above a podium that extends along Parker Street. The hotel offers panoramic views of Piccadilly Gardens and the Manchester skyline. In 2000, Bernard House was demolished, and the complex was rebranded as the Piccadilly Exchange.
