Redefine|BDL Hotels (RBH) has welcomed The Midland in Manchester to its portfolio.
The four-star hotel joins the portfolio alongside 25 other properties which will be operated by RBH on behalf of new owners, real estate investment company, Aprirose.
All 26 hotels, which have an annual turnover in excess of £190 million, were acquired by Aprirose from QHotels in a £525 million deal.
The 312 bedroom luxury hotel boasts two critically-acclaimed restaurants – Adam Reid at The Midland and Mr Cooper’s – as well as a dedicated afternoon tea space, the opulent Tea Room.
Guests can also relax at the award-winning The Spa at The Midland set the heart of the city.
As a result of the partnership RBH will now manage more than 75 hotels. The diverse mixture of branded and private label properties brings together more than 11,000 rooms across the country.
Located across the UK, the 26 luxury hotels and leisure resorts joining the RBH portfolio boast a host of facilities including spas at 24 of the properties and golf courses available to club members at 10 of the hotels.
The contract represents the continuation of a successful partnership with Aprirose, which owns Hampton by Hilton London Docklands and Mercure Bristol Holland House and Spa – already part of the RBH portfolio.
Helder Pereira, Chief Executive Officer of Redefine|BDL Hotels, said:
“This is another landmark addition to the Redefine|BDL Hotels portfolio and we’re thrilled to see The Midland joining the rest of our properties across the UK. With fantastic facilities set in a stunning location, its quality and prestige speaks for itself.

We have established a successful partnership with Redefine|BDL Hotels, which was appointed both on our Hampton by Hilton London Docklands and Mercure Bristol Holland House hotel assets, so The Midland will be operated to the same excellent standards.”
