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.

Very enjoyable short break with family.

The hotel is in a great central location.The reception and communal areas are lovely. Also the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

I upgraded to a higher floor room with city view. In my opinion it wasn't worth the £50 a night extra (normally £65).

Great hotel and Location

Room was clean and modern, really comfortable with all the amenities needed, location was really central to access restaurants all within walking distance.

The hotel does not have a Car Park like advertised; there is an NCP carpark 8- 10min walk from the hotel, not great if you have luggage with you.

Perfect

On our arrival we entered into a clean spacious reception and the reception staff were very welcoming . Check in was quick and easy , Our room was a nice size it had everything and was lovely and clean . The hotel is very central and easy to find .

only fault is there isn’t great signage to say it’s The Edwardian . I think this will be because of the age and style of the building .

Parts of the room were tired and in need of a refresh. The bathroom was quite small.

Incredible Spa & Hotel experience

Fabulous staff throughout hotel, breakfast was delicious and a great variety. The bar was lovely atmosphere & spa facilities fabulously relaxing. Pool is such a delight, calm music, water is warm- like a lagoon, hot tub too, lovely steam, sauna rooms and experience showers, plus well equipped large gym. Robes & towels in room & getting lift direct to and from in them to spa is easy so just put swimwear on in room & collect towels provided in spa too . The hotel room beds are so comfortable & pillows, duvet you melt into for best nights sleep! Thanks so much for the special bday treat and card in room too. Can’t wait to return!

Our recent stay

We had such a lovely stay here, the spa, staff, and breakfast was all amazing. Really helpful staff who found my ring after I realised I had forgot it there, and had it sent back to me which I have now received. They also added a dessert into our room as it was my boyfriend’s birthday. The spa facilities were perfect, this has easily become our favourite hotel in Manchester compared to all the others we have stayed in!

Another memorable stay with great customer service, clean comfy rooms in the heart of the city

Great welcome at reception from Kyaw, who efficiently checked us in. We have stayed at this hotel before so knew what to expect, but the rooms were just as good as we remembered, with very comfy beds. The cocktails in Peter Street Kitchen are amazing and the breakfast was really good too. We love this hotel for it's location, just off Deansgate an so central for everything we love to do whilst in the city.

A luxury hotel without being extortionate or painfully trendy

Most hotel breakfast buffets are dreadful but I was really impressed with The Edwardian’s offerings - coconut water as one of the juices, actual fresh, ripe fruit rather than bullets, beautifully cooked scrambled eggs and good quality bacon and sausages and black pudding. My room was lovely and comfortable, proper black-out blinds and even had an extra spare pillow. Absolutely nothing to fault the hotel (apart from the strange truffle popcorn to avoid guest allergies) - and will stay again when we next meet up friends in the city.
