Success within Reach

Success within reach

Carrier Solutions UK has successfully supported a major refurbishment at The Reach Hotel in Manchester (formerly La Reserve Apartments), delivering a Toshiba variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solution in collaboration with trusted contractor A.C. Mechanical Services (ACMS).

The project transformed
the site from 80 serviced apartments into a 215-room luxury hotel operated by Molo Hotel Group. ACMS delivered a £2 million mechanical services package, with Toshiba’s VRF technology at the project’s core. The system ensures consistent comfort, precise climate control and seamless integration with the hotel’s building management system (BMS).

The comprehensive refurbishment presented several challenges, including shallow ceiling voids, obstructive beams and unforeseen water leaks. As a result, the original eight-month programme was extended to two years. ACMS overcame these obstacles by tailoring its approach floor by floor, ensuring long-term performance and guest satisfaction.

The Reach Hotel installation highlights Carrier Solutions UK’s ability to support complex refurbishments through advanced HVAC solutions tailored for the hospitality sector.
