Introducing the boutique hotel concept to Manchester, the Malmaison Hotel involved the conservation and refurbishment of the magnificent but derelict Joshua Hoyle Building, a 19^th Century brick and terracotta warehouse in the centre of town.  The concept for the hotel was borne out of a desire by the operator to build up a chain of classic contemporary hotels with traditional French brasseries.  The appeal of Malmaison hotels lies in the mix of traditional buildings and contemporary interiors, which offers a serious alternative to the mainstream. 

Following the tasteful restoration of the building, the hotel opened in April 1998.

The impact on Manchester following the acquisition and development of the Joshua Hoyle Building has acted as a catalyst for the renaissance of the Piccadilly area of the city.
