The Lowry Hotel, Manchester
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.”

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.

Fantastic - nothing was too much bother for the team.
Excellent facilities and location. Every member of staff provided great service, without being too intense.
Little bit tricky to find in Manchesters city ever- changing inner centre road system.

Lovely hotel in a prime location with excellent parking facilities
Standards, fit, food
I booked on Booking.com originally with breakfast for four people (as I always do being a Genius 3 member) yet we were charged £100 for breakfast

Definitely Five Star
Attention to detail is obviously their watchword and the staff were extremely professional. Lovely rooms, very spacious lobby's and nicely decorated.
The crap views, although not the hotels fault!

Overall i was very pleased with the stay. The staff on arrival were brilliant.
The room was fantastic. The air con was perhaps a little louder than I would have liked but overall was a brilliant room.
Aircon was a little slow to reduce the room temperature

This hotel is exactly what you need for a fun filled time in Manchester
The location was fabulous. The restaurant created such amazing food that I stuffed myself silly. And the BED!!! Don’t get me started on the bed…after a day spent shopping and taking in the sites the enormously, comfy bed just let me slip in to the best sleep ever.

Above and beyond staff!
The hotel is immaculate and the staff go above and beyond. I was there initially for work training but booked a hotel room for my husband and newborn so that I could have feeding breaks. The staff in the restaurant firstly provided a workspace for my husband so that he could work and look after our son somewhere private. Then, the kind staff at reception upgraded our room. I can honestly say the staff made this experience for us and we will definitely be returning for leisure.

Fabulous!
The hotel is in a great location to get around the manchester city centre area, great secure parking for starters. The room was superb, and we likened it to many of the great Middle Eastern and Asian hotels we've stayed in. Great in room facilities, clean and quiet!
The wardrobe units are missing a rail space on one side of the arrangements in the dressing area, and one has a height divider that restricts the use in a minor way. The AC [room 519] did need some attention and a re gas perhaps, though this was reported to staff on check out.

Nice and lovely hotel to treat yourself.
Nice, big , clean and spacious room. Friendly staff. Very good location. Close to the downtown.
The price. But it was a 5 stars hotel. I thought that the breakfast was included, but it was not. The price for breakfast was overpriced.

Was very enjoyable. Will be coming back next time I am in Manchester.
Room was elegant and nicely laid out. Plenty of space to relax. Easy to get in and out. Close to lots of shops, stores and restaurants.
Wasn't told that there would be a charge for parking overnight until check out. This was not disclosed on the Booking.com website.
