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.

Fabulous

Great location. Excellent and Friendly staff. Clean, spacious room. Quiet and peaceful, no outside noise, which is great for a city centre hotel.

Expensive parking. £32 a night!. Already paying a premium to stay at the hotel, so to charge that much for parking is taking a liberty. Bed was too soft for our liking, we prefer firm mattresses. Also the shower was very disappointing, big shower head, and a trickle of water. I was looking forward to a powerful shower.

The staff were excellent and especially the young concierge man. I was walking up to the hotel, in the pouring rain, carrying a large number of bags (Christmas shopping) and he came outside getting himself wet and took all the bags of me and brought them to my room . What exceptional service. The front of house staff accommodated me to have earlier check-in and the manager was so helpful. I cannot fault this hotel

Good hotel in excellent location.

Comfy bed, nice shower etc. even changed coffee machine when told the coffee provided for first machine was terrible. Great location - 6 minute walk to city centre. Plenty of bottled water available in room. Bar was nice as were staff. Restaurant was good except that on a Sunday evening, last order is at 20:30 which we found odd for a 5 star city centre hotel.

Was not impressed with watered down shower gel !! Seemed like someone trying to save money in a cheap way. Restaurant was good except that on a Sunday evening, last order is at 20:30 which we found odd for a 5 star city centre hotel.

We felt special staying at the Lowry as everything was perfect. Thank you!

The staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly which is the most important part to us. Everything else was excellent from the meal in the bar to the cleanliness of our room. The bed was huge and so comfy, we had a great sleep😊

A very comfortable stay with lovely staff and service

The bed was by far the comfiest bed we have ever slept in!! The staff at Lowry are very professional, welcoming and friendly.

We were a bit confused about the wellness area as we assumed it was have the traditional hotel spa facilities(eg. Sauna, hot tub) but it doesn’t.

Exceptional quality hotel, brilliant staff in all departments, wonderful food in restaurant and breakfast. Easy parking

Size of the rooms, advanced tech in the room. Lovely clean reception and lifts, social areas. Restaurant, breakfast all exceptional, staff lovely and helpful Dwayne and all in the food areas absolutely great, really polite and friendly especially as wife’s birthday and little boy loved everything.

Road network to the parking and hotel very busy as roadworks around, so a nightmare to travel 2 miles across Manchester in 45 mins!! Surfaces in room paintings, and few hairs in bathroom which 6 year old found when playing with his plushies from SeaLife, otherwise everything else lovely and clean and lovely views from 6th floor room
