The Lowry Hotel, Manchester

50 Dearmans Place, Chapel Wharf, Salford, Manchester, M3 5LH, United Kingdom. (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“Visiting rock stars and luxury hunters tend to favour this modern, five-star hotel (not to be confused with the arts centre in Salford Quays), where the fabulous bedrooms have enormous beds and ergonomically designed furniture.”

Telegraph review:

“Like a true Mancunian, this five-star hotel is showy without being pretentious and fiercely proud of its roots. Huge stylish rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and attentive service keep guests coming back for more, while art exhibitions, a spa and people-watching opportunities make it an enjoyable place to linger.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

The Lowry Hotel is a luxurious and modern hotel situated on the banks of the River Irwell. This high-rise building is a key component of Manchester’s skyline, and its all-glass appearance makes it impossible to miss. With an ultra-chic foyer, complete with massive ceilings, tons of space, contemporary lighting, and clean lines, this space encapsulates the atmosphere of the entire hotel.

Choose from five different spacious floor plans: deluxe king double, superior king double, a suite with a river view, executive king, or a junior suite. You will have floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable beds, iPod docks, plush furniture, and plenty of space no matter which room you choose. The private bathrooms feel extra luxurious with marble floors and walls, glass standing showers, and soft bathrobes.

Relax for a day at the hotel spa, which has five treatment rooms, including a relaxation room, a couples room, a sauna, a gym, and a hair salon. Dine at the onsite River Restaurant, serving a variety of chicken, fish, and beef. Next to the restaurant, you’ll find a lovely cocktail bar boasting great drinks and live music. Along the side of the Chapel Wharf building, step out onto the large terrace that showcases dazzling city views.

The People’s History Museum and the Manchester Cathedral are only a five-minute walk from this hotel, making this an extremely convenient location in Manchester.

Excellent customer service and lovely hotel

I was a bit unwell during my stay and the staff really looked after me, including checking in that I was ok and keeping the room clean. Not an ideal stay in those terms but I wouldn't have wanted to be staying in any other hotel under the circumstances.

Exceptional quality of product and service.

From the onset the quality of service from the gentleman who helped is with our bags and car to the receptionist staff were attentive and professional. Quality of Lowry as a product to the service is exceptional as is the location.

Parking charge is high.

Fabulous location, riverside suite is spacious and simply stunning.

The riverside suite was superb - spacious and immaculate. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The stay was excellent with an excellent location, and parking is available. The concierge went out of his way to help us. Thank you so much.

The only slight thing that wasn't up to our expectations is breakfast. The buffet wasn't high-quality enough. Hash browns were soggy and fatty, and it was just underwhelming. Staff were lovely though but the food was not a good enough standard.

Fabulous - but be aware of limitations with your pets!

Fabulous rooms and exceptional service. Spacious, immaculate and indulgent.

The Pet Policy - for other travellers advice, it would be super helpful to make clear that Dog Friendly applies to the bedrooms only. They aren’t allowed in the bar/cafe, only on a slim outdoor terrace which limited what we could do. It’s in Salford where rain is always expected:) That’s fine/understandable - if it’s advised. There is info on the Lowry website if you search but not on Booking.Com - I booked the night before so had trusted Booking.com and unable to cancel on arrival.

Room upgrade was a huge surprise and one of the nicest rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Clare on reception made the stag even more special. She was very helpful and a delight to talk to. Parking is great here too.

The perfect stay in the heart of Manchester 🐝

Its location is amazing; a beautiful riverside setting right in the middle of Manchester. The rooms are generous and stylish. I really appreciated the sustainability policy of avoiding plastic (the room cards are made of wood/bamboo). The service level is amazing; professional, super friendly, helpful staff. I cannot fault this hotel!

A super stylish hotel

A super fresh and stylish hotel with a very high degree of finish throughout, from the friendly service to the little touches in the room. I would highly recommend.

The thermostat in the room didn't feel very responsive

Gorgeous hotel, but would recommend getting breakfast offsite.

The room was lovely and really well located. On site parking is a plus.

The breakfast was quite poor. We had the full English and the bacon was tough, the hash browns greasy, the beans were almost just slop, and the texture of the sausage placed itself amongst one of the strangest things I’ve ever eaten.

Would Return

Hotel room, lobby and facilities were all nice. Location was walking distance to our concert venue. I didn't find the bed very comfortable but it wasn't awful either. The ladies at reception during our check in were very nice and friendly.

We got there 25 minutes after the stated check in time but our rooms were still not ready. However, they did give my friend and I one free drink each of our choice as well as some light nibbles while we waited on the terrace for our rooms to be ready.

Very rare that you stay at a hotel where there is nothing to fault. If I had to single one person out for a special mention it would be the doorman: attentive, observant and thoroughly professional.

The gents’ toilet by the restaurant and bar could have been cleaner at breakfast time.

A Special Experience at the Lowry

The Lowry Hotel is a well-located modern hotel, just a few minutes walk from the central shopping area of Manchester, and close to a wide variety of restaurants. We were given a very spacious room, which was comfortable, very clean, and with very good access to complimentary WiFi. The quality of food and service in the dining room was excellent, and we would highly recommend the breakfast. As a very welcome surprise, a birthday message & chocolates had been placed in the room prior to our arrival, acknowledging my wife’s birthday - thank you most kindly! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay & highly recommend the hotel to those wishing to celebrate a special occasion.

As a minor point, the bedroom pillows were soft & flat. Whilst it was really helpful to be able to access hotel parking, and particularly in light of the considerable roadworks currently taking place in the surrounding area, the cost of 24-hour parking seemed high. Having said this, city-centre parking charges also seem relatively high!
