Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“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.

Lonely Planet review:

“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.”

Telegraph review:

“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.”

All you need to know

Formerly a historic Free Trade Hall, The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel, is an upscale boutique hotel with a rich history. The grandiose architecture and archways of the exterior reflect the fascinating history of this building, while the interior has been refurbished to include contemporary design and thoughtful details. Over the years, this incredible structure has served as the backdrop to political rallies, world-renowned music shows, and violent protests.

Each room includes modern amenities, like comfortable beds, high-speed WiFi, high-tech spa-like bathrooms, and crisp white linens. Minimalist design permeates each space, showcasing an earthy and neutral color palette throughout guest rooms. Some rooms come with incredible city views, and the penthouse suite provides the most luxurious experience with an abundance of space, impeccable design, and plush furniture.

Enjoy a dip in the hotel pool, a massage at the Espa spa, or a workout in the fitness center. Grab a signature cocktail in The Library curated by Assouline, which also provides access to famous fashion books and an afternoon tea. Peter Street Kitchen, the hotel’s main restaurant, has a chic and elegant atmosphere, serving Mexican small plates and contemporary Japanese, with an extensive selection of adult beverages, including cocktails, sake, and wine.

Great stay, would definitely recommend

The reception and concierge is welcoming, spa is great and breakfast is good.

No fresh air in the rooms and the AC is doesn’t compensate.

Super and would definitely recommend.

Location, great spa, super comfy bed! Good city skyline views. Great bar. Location. Did I mention location?

I like to have handbasin in same room as toilet so I don’t have to wash hands in the bath or leave the door ajar. But rooms are otherwise excellently furnished and comfortable. Parking in the nearby NCP is very expensive. The concierge can recommend a good alternative (10 minute walk but half the price) but this needs to be booked in advance to guarantee availability.

There was a young lady who served me room service. I wish I could remember her name but she was very lovely and polite. The room was very clean and comfortable. Great amenities and good location in town. The spa was glorious and they keep it to time slots so it's never too busy.

I don't like the fact that the bathroom door has a gap underneath. Makes sharing a room with someone awkward. No one wants to feel self-conscious using the toilet.

A beautiful hotel, fantastic location and excellent staff

Staff were amazing from the very start. Hotel was so chic. Loved the location, perfect for our concert at the Albert Hall (across the road), well placed for train stations, shops, 10-15mins from Cathedral and John Rylands Library. Fantastic restaurants, bars and brunch spots close by. Beautifully designed wellness facilities, peaceful ambience set by the team with scents and sounds. Very spacious rooms, loved the separate bath and shower. And there was proper space between the twin beds. Everything was immaculately clean. Liked the free use of robe/slippers/toiletries and water provided.

It was really sad that the spa facilities were so peaceful upon entry. But then 3 babies/toddlers and their parents took over spreading out across the pool. Commanding both stairwells, jumping in screaming and splashing. Everyone else who was really enjoying unwinding and taking in the peace, got out of pool and many left soon after. I am sure what could be done though to help this situation.

The property is modern and has excellent facilities.

The size of the rooms were quite small considering it’s a five star hotel, so not good value for money in that regard.

Was above and beyond what we were expecting

Everything about the Edwardian Manchester was excellent. The breakfast, the Spa, the location… but what made the stay extra special was the staff and how friendly they were. An extra special mention for Anna on reception. She couldn’t have done more for my Son and Me, and she went above and beyond to make sure our stay was memorable for us. We felt like royalty! Thank you Anna

- The facilities (room, breakfast lounge, spa) are very beautiful - The breakfast buffet is excellent - The location is great

- It would be a 10/10 if you didn't have to book the spa in advance and only have the right to one hour slot in the morning and one hour slot in the afternoon. I booked a superior double room and in other 5 star hotels, I could have spent the day at the spa. I found that the spa was constantly very busy but I would like the freedom to be spontaneous. - Apart from that, nothing

I always enjoy my stays at the Radisson. Staff always polite and knowledgeable. Lovely relaxing hotel.

I not overly impressed with the way breakfast is managed. Having to queue to make toast is annoying - breakfast get's cold. The toaster was not working properly. I also think the hot breakfast counters are too high.

Stylish Stay in a Historic Building 🏛️✨

We stayed just one night, but really enjoyed it! The hotel has a beautiful lobby and modern design within a historic building. The room was spacious and full of natural light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. Materials and finishes felt high-quality, and there was a coffee machine — always a win ☕️ There’s also a spa at the hotel, but unfortunately we didn’t have time to try it. Our room was right next to the elevator, so a bit noisy, but for one night it was fine. Funny moment — we ended up leaving our massage roller behind as it didn’t fit in the suitcase 😄 They took a £100 deposit at check-in, which was handled smoothly.

For the gym alone....

Beautiful building, though the rooms are in the modern addition. The gym is great, lots of equipment in an exquisite part of the basement.

I had no WiFi during my stay. It could have been my phone but, as I explained to staff, it appeared to connect to every other free WiFi in town.

The Edwardian Radisson Collection Hotel in Manchester, is absolutely stunning, the staff go above and beyond to make your stay there enjoyable 👌 excellent customer service, from the moment you arrive. I stayed there for my birthday, and got upgraded to a bigger room which was beautiful, spacious, modern, and very comfortable. We were also given some vouchers to get a free b day drink at the bar, which was a really nice gesture from the gentleman who booked us in on the reception. The spar was also amazing, and again staff were so welcoming. Room service was also very prompt, and the food we ordered was of a very high standard. I would just like to thank everyone at the Edwardian Hotel, that made that day so lovely. I will definitely revisit some time in the future.

Stay for a local wedding

Facilities . Staff being available as opposed to on line check in etc . The spa and the general friendliness of staff and availability . A large selection of good quality toiletries and other beauty items which most hotels seem to have stopped providing. Water in the fridge which was replaced daily . Towels changed daily without asking. The lay out of the bathroom is good with a separate area for dressing etc outside the toilet and shower . Walk in shower also good.

Breakfast expensive and buffet style . Eggs ordered separate to the buffet was confusing as was the structure of the price of breakfast depending when booked . It was cheaper to book the day before in the hotel than a breakfast package .

Pleasant and enjoyable with great customer service.

Service from all the staff in and around reception including the staff in the bar were so friendly and helpful. It really made for a nice welcome. The lady working in the spa reception was lovely too. Room was perfect for what we needed and when leaving we could leave our bags with reception and came back to collect them later in the day with no problems. Spa was very nice too!

No parking nearby made it a bit of a pain with bags after driving quite far but nothing to impact the experience.

Would stay here next time we go to Manchester

The hotel feels very luxurious from the moment you step in! Spa was just perfect 10/10 - you reserve your time so it doesn’t get crowded. Perfect location if you are going out.

Room was very basic and rather small for the price paid. Would have been nice for a staff member to show us where the stairs were and how to access spa & to use the lifts.
