| Hotel Description |
| The Radisson Edwardian Manchester Hotel can be found at the very heart of one of
Britain's most vibrant and dynamic cities. A new hotel set in the Free Trade Hall,
one of Manchester’s most historically important buildings, the Radisson Edwardian
combines five star luxury with a superb location and a real sense of history.
The Free Trade Hall was built between 1853-1856 on a site close to the scene of
the Peterloo Massacre of 1819. Its name commemorates the movement upon which
Manchester's wealth was built, made possible by the repeal of the Corn Laws in
1846, making it one of the few in the world to be named after a political and
economic movement. Nikolaus Pevsner described The Free Trade Hall as ‘perhaps the
noblest monument in the Cinquecento style in England.’ As such a major centre for
engineering and manufacturing, Manchester was heavily bombed during the Second
World War and The Free Trade Hall suffered significant damage. It re-opened in
1951 with a newly reconstructed interior and was celebrated as the home of the
world-famous Hall? Orchestra, and over the following decades became a legendary
venue not only for classical music, but also for contemporary rock and pop. Bob
Dylan famously performed one of his first ‘electric’ gigs at the Free Trade Hall
in 1966, and the venue established itself as a truly great rock venue throughout
the 1970s. In 1976 the venue hosted The Sex Pistols’ first ever gig outside of
London, in front of an audience containing members of the soon to be famous Joy
Division, The Fall, The Buzzcocks and the Smiths, bands who subsequently made
Manchester the second city of punk, and resulting in an explosion of independent
record companies and the reputation for musical innovation that continues to this
day. |
