Plans for the Grade II Listed building, which lies within the Castlefield Conservation Area, include a single-storey glass extension, reconfiguration of the roof-top bar and bedroom upgrades together with an external glass lift shaft.  The ground floor will be fully refurbished with sections of the mezzanine balcony removed to create a double-height space across the ground floor.

The building, located on the corner of Atherton Street and Great John Street, was built in 1910 as Atherton County Primary School and subsequently became part of the Granada Studios TV complex before opening as a hotel in 2005.
