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.”

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.

Lovely hotel. Highly recommend
Great location. Well furnished. Great environment. Excellent breakfast
Hotel didn’t have a car park though there was one very close (£30 per 24 hours). Breakfast layout was quite crowded but didn’t ruin enjoyment of what was an excellent breakfast

Great location and enjoyed our stay. We will be back.
Clean tidy and comfortable
A little lacking on the services at breakfast. Not quite up to the standard we would expect. Had to ask for a tea top up and no choice of teas.

Very good
The location and the experience was good.
The receptionist Wilfred was rude, not welcoming and disrespectful. I wouldn't come back to the hotel because of him.

Room is good breakfast dining room has far too many tables in it giving No privacy, parking terrible
Good choice of breakfast
The breakfast restaurant is too small and the tables are on top of each other giving absolutely no privacy No parking available and No agreement in place with local NCP car park, therefore 24hr parking costs £30, which is expensive, No reimbursment from hotel.
