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.

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

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.
