Audio ambience from lobby to lounge
The Michael Caines Restaurant and Champagne Bar at ABode Manchester was Tourism Restaurant of the Year at the Manchester Tourism Awards 2011.
The project
Michael Caines dining is the heart and soul of every ABode Hotel. So when the team behind the boutique chain opened new premises in Manchester, they were looking for an audio solution that would ensure the customer experience lived up to the Michelin-star rating
The Michael Caines dining experience doesn’t just consist of the Michael Caines Restaurant. It also extends to the Champagne Bar, Café Bar & Grill, and BarMC. Each of which has its own unique offer and ambience, and as such requires its own approach to audio.
What we did
Our solution was a bespoke 10-zone audio system featuring architecturally complementary Bose® Pro speakers, flush iPod docking stations, balanced audio output and full in-house DJ solution for BarMC with careful control of frequencies to avoid disturbing guests in the rooms above. A system capable of delivering clean, crisp sound not just in each individual bar and dining area but in the hotel lobby, lift foyer, toilets, gym and meeting room too, bringing each space alive.
By designing one complete solution, we were able to create an ambience that connects seamlessly throughout the hotel, firmly establishing Abode as the place to go when out and about in Manchester with family or friends.
