Seen from Balloon Street with the Metrolink wires threading across the foreground, the 14-storey cylindrical rotunda of Hotel Indigo Manchester Victoria Station is one of the more successful pieces of contemporary architecture to have arrived in the NOMA district in recent years. The curve of the tower, its floor-to-ceiling glazing catching the sky in vertical strips, sits alongside the Victorian City Buildings on Todd Street - a juxtaposition that works better in practice than it might sound in description.<br />
<br />
The hotel opened in November 2018, designed by local architects 3D Reid for developers BH Group at a cost of £30 million. The project combined the restoration of the Grade II listed City Buildings - originally built as a Victorian tea warehouse between 1865 and 1875, and dilapidated when work began - with the addition of the new rotunda tower providing 187 boutique rooms. The combination of old and new was intended as a gateway between Exchange Square's shopping district and the developing NOMA district to the north.<br />
<br />
The restaurant and bar at the tower's base is called Mamucium - pronounced &quot;Ma-moo-see-um&quot; - named after the Roman fort believed to be the origin of Manchester's name, established around AD 79. That fort stood approximately where the tower now rises, give or take a millennium and a half of urban change. The name makes more sense than most hotel restaurant names.<br />
<br />
The brick building to the lower left and the tiled facade of the City Buildings behind the tower provide the layering of periods that makes this corner of Manchester so worth photographing.</p>
