The Edwardian Hotel, Manchester
Expert reviews
“In the heart of the city, this elegant option invites you to unwind with its atmospheric spa (complete with a urban subterranean swimming pool, sauna, steam rooms and cutting-edge gym), luxurious afternoon teas, and memorable dining including contemporary Japanese and Mexican small plates in Peter Street Kitchen.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Manchester.
“Gladstone, Dickens and Fitzgerald…just some of the names associated with the historic Free Trade Hall, now an elegant business hotel with high-end trimmings and decor. It has done its best to preserve the memories of the building’s most famous visitors.”
“This five-star hotel, set in one of Manchester’s grandest buildings, the Free Trade Hall, often hosts celebrity visitors to the city (Simon Cowell and Sven-Goran Eriksson among them). Guests will enjoy the spa and unique restaurant, and the location’s also handy for visitors to the Manchester Central Convention Centre.”

The hotel was beautiful inside and the room was very nice. I enjoyed my time with my bestie to celebrate my 46th Birthday
The only thing I was shocked about was the extra £100 deposit that I added to pay on arrival. I didn't see this anywhere in the small print. It was refunded but I had to wait a few days to receive it. Other than that everything looks good.

breakfast is a bit overpriced unless your really going to eat well . i skipped as had a big dinner previous night and really wanted a drink maybe bit of fruit but its silly too pay that much for a bowl of fruit . i would hope they look at that .

A real spoil yourself treat.

It was noisy. We could hear next door and the floor above moving around.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay- lovely staff and an immaculate and comfortable room, thank you.
Near to the centre and shops. Convenient for the tram stop to Charlton. Immaculately clean. The ice machine at the end of the corridor was very useful! The staff were lovely!
I couldn’t find the hairdryer until it was too late. A small card to inform me of its location would have been very useful.

Brilliant location, beautiful hotel, excellent facilities, breakfast fell short of my expectations.
Beautiful restaurant.
I liked the breakfast but it took a long time to get served, I had to ask for a drink. Also took 20 mins for my breakfast to come and the waiter asked if it had come yet.

Lovely overnight stay
The room had everything we needed with a lovely bathroom and selection of toiletries. All staff were very polite and helpful. The breakfast was amazing - one of the best I've had (if not the best) whilst staying away. The pancakes are absolutely delicious!! My sister used the spa facilities and was very happy with them. I will definitely stay here again.

Great location, too end hotel.
Service, concierge, decor, room, location , breakfast all great.
Bar prices were expensive. Whilst breakfast quality was great, self service at peak times is not a 5 star experience

This hotel is the best in Manchester & by far way ahead of any other hotel chains in Manchester. I have stayed here multiple times & the hotel has never failed to impress. The on site spa facilities are amazing & a massive bonus to use to kick back & relax anytime. This does require pre booking but worth it every time. A big thank you & mention to Danny Sieff on hotel reception. Danny is a star person of this hotel & has gone out of his way every time I have requested anything for my stays. He is very professional, has great customer service skills & a credit to the hotel team. Danny I hope the hotel managememt reward you for your hard work! Well deserved in this hotel industry to be recognised for your hard work! Thanls again to all of the hotel team & no doubt I will be doing many more stays when I am in the city. Ishy M

I can not fault this hotel in any way. Everyone and everything was absolutely perfect.
The beautiful architecture coupled with the very modern internal decor provided a luxary experience. Comfortable beds, interesting room lay out but it worked very well. The restaurant was fantastic and the breakfast was wonderful. All of the staff were incredibly welcoming and very accommodating, everyone was very helpful and genuinely lovely. The spa was very nice and relaxing, I wish I had time to same the treatments. I’m sure we’ll be back the next time we stay over in Manchester!

Fabulous - always a pleasure
Room was fine - beds a little ugly. We stayed in the same type of room recently and it just seemed slightly better quality. Love the Edwardian though
