Prometheus Planning and Investment is a specialist hotel contractor. New-build, refurbishment and fit-out delivered across Manchester, Salford, Leeds and London, with the planning and investment thinking behind every scheme.
We take a hotel scheme from a site appraisal and funding plan right through to a snag-free handover. One contractor, one programme, one team answerable for the result. The forethought goes in early, so the build runs to time.
Ground-up construction for branded and independent operators, from groundworks and frame to a fully commissioned, ready-to-trade hotel.

Design developed to operator standard and locked to a fixed-price programme.
Groundworks, frame, envelope and fit-out delivered to the agreed sequence.
Tested, snagged and handed over ready to trade, with the manuals in your hand.
Bedroom pods, back-of-house, life-safety and brand standards are second nature, not a learning curve.
We read the numbers like a developer, so the spec serves the return, not just the drawing.
The number you sign is the number you pay, with the dates to match it.
The people who price the job run the job, so nothing is lost in the handover.

Hotels, aparthotels and serviced accommodation are our specialism. It is most of what we do, and it is where the planning-led, operator-standard approach pays off. We will talk to you about closely related leisure and mixed-use schemes too.
Our core is Manchester, Salford and the wider North West, plus Leeds and London. For the right scheme we deliver nationally, mobilising a local supply chain around a Prometheus management team.
That is the best time to involve us. Early input on buildability, programme and cost protects the viability of the scheme and avoids expensive redesign later. We can run feasibility and planning strategy before a single drawing is committed.
Yes. Once the design is developed and the scope is clear, we price the programme as a fixed sum against fixed dates. Where you want earlier certainty we can run a two-stage process with an open-book pre-construction phase.
We deliver live-trade refurbishment regularly, working floor by floor with noise, dust and access carefully managed so guests are not disturbed and the hotel keeps earning.
"Prometheus took our Manchester aparthotel from a tired office block to 96 trading rooms inside the programme. The cost certainty up front is what sold us, and they held it the whole way."
"We brought them in at feasibility on a Leeds site and the buildability advice changed the whole layout for the better. Snag-free handover, on the date they gave us at the start."
"Our London hotel stayed open through a full refurbishment. Prometheus worked floor by floor with no complaints from guests and the new rooms look exactly like the brand standard."
