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.”

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.

A Perfect break in a spacious, stylish Hotel with a fantastic location to explore Manchester.

We received a warm welcome. Our cases were taken to the room. The room was lovely and spacious and bed very comfortable. Very good service in the Restaurant on Saturday evening and the food was excellent. The Staff at breakfast were very pleasant and there was a great choice of fruit and pastries, as well as buffet English Breakfast and a la carte! My omelette was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble.

I love the ambience of the bar and lounge area and it was exactly as I remembered it from a few years ago, as I was hoping it would be... The furnishings are slightly jaded, but a refurb should definitely keep the same feel. Just some of the fabrics have faded a little with time. The car park was very expensive, even for Hotel guests.

A really nice stay around the festive period, with great hospitality.

The hotel was immaculate and we were provided a complimentary room upgrade upon arrival which was a great surprise given the nature and timing of the trip.

Excellent facilities for a city centre hotel.

The location was excellent for city centre but in a quieter area so no external noise. Facilities were great , especially the spa which was excellent. Staff were attentive and helpful. Room was spacious, very clean and well appointed. Parking onsite which was very helpful, albeit it a little expensive.

Nice spot in Manchester for a night away

We had a lovely overnight stay here. The room was huge, with plenty of space to move around and relax. The large table was ideal for the laptop, slippers and robes are included, and the TV included all the Sky channels, including Sky Sports. Heating worked very quickly too. The staff at check-in were very nice and easy to talk to.

Breakfast was very expensive so we opted to go elsewhere. For a 5-star hotel you'd expect there to be some extra complimentary things in the room, but there was only tea and coffee. Parking is a bit pricey but it's convenient.

Fabulous hotel and staff.

Just a room only booking but was given a free upgrade into a lovely room. The hotel is where it is so not the most wonderful location but its excellent staff and facilities make up for that. A great night's stay!

Car park could have been cheaper for guests.

Overall a great stay but a few tweaks needed.

The staff were all really friendly and the hotel is in a great location. The breakfast was fab! We would definitely stay again.

The mattress was too soft and the pillows could do with an upgrade as they had seen better days. The shower wasn’t the most powerful.

Amazing amazing amazing

The most amazing hotel with the most amazing staff I have travelled the world and this will always be my favourite hotel. Me and my daughter are neurodivergent and they always go above and beyond to make sure we are comfortable everyone of the staff that work there take time out to speak to you as a person not as customer and super friendly.

Lovely hotel rooms - comfy bed and facilities. Great location for our needs.

Table service in the bar was not good. Unable to order from the bar so reliant on table service which was poor due to one/two at the most serving. We waited for 20 min plus before anyone came to our table. The drinks were great but slow. Staff working were great just not enough of them.

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.
