It looks like an eyesore when you get close to it... different curtains, washing hanging out ... it looks like a hurricane has hit it.

The second part of the question that Yorkie missed:

The tower lies on Deansgate and has two postal addresses, with the apartments falling under 301 Deansgate and the hotel under 303 Deansgate. Widely referred to as Beetham Tower, it is also known colloquially as the Hilton Tower due to the corporate logos placed on the 24th storey, on each side of the building.

Where will you find this unusual bridge - or is it a bridge?
