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.

Chic stylish great bar super staff

Great hotel and super staff. Bar is lovely!

Ok - floor to ceiling windows are spectacular but dont allow for night ventilation. If this is something important to you ask at reception or when booking and the fantastic staff will put a humidifier in the room.

Wow factor hotel, good location for Manchester

Room had wow factor, super comfy bed, great bathroom, nice snacks although no free biscuits with the tea :(

Breakfast didn't start till 7am and I needed to leave at 7.10 so I didn't get any breakfast before leaving, even though i had paid. Unusual for work hotels to not start breakfast earlier.

Manchesters best hotel

Great stay on a Sunday night deal which was excellent value for money . Huge,comfortable room and just a few minutes walk into the city centre. Breakfast was terrific

For a five star hotel there aren’t many freebies. Take your own biscuits

Always a joy to stay - further enhanced by a super professional staff member.

A regular for over 15 years - rooms are fab and the location is excellent. Special shout out to a lovely lady Geena - who went beyond to make our stay enjoyable. When hotels employ people who truly know the meaning of hospitality rather than doing a perfunctory job - it puts the cherry on top. So thank you Lowry and thank you Geena !

Aircon was slightly off kilter - but that's it!

Lovely comfortable welcoming hotel

Loved the comfortable room overlooking the river. The bar area was cosy and welcoming, again with great views. Coffee and other drinks were served with almonds or homemade biscuits - a nice touch. Excellent breakfast. Location was exactly where we wanted to be. The hotel restaurant was closed on a Monday but I can recommend the Ottoman just nearby.

The location and friendly helpful staff. Always a pleasure to stay here

As we bring our dog with us and you welcome them in, it’s a shame there’s no where we can have a drink or meal with them. So we don’t get to use any other part of the hotel! Expect on the terrace in the summer..

Perfect short stay

room was very spacious & the bed huge & very comfortable. Bathroom large, bright & with a large shower (would have liked the choice of bath and/or shower) & great magnifying mirror. breakfast all you could ask for and some. Great central location, very easy walk to many places. Bar excellent (especially the very polite & attentive staff) - would like to have been here in warmer weather to take advantage of the outside terrace!

No chair near a mirror or small table to do hair & make up in good lighting.

Lovely hotel but wouldn’t stay again.

It is a beautiful hotel, very spacious and clean. The staff in the lobby and on the door were excellent very friendly and welcoming. The room was very comfortable.

We thought it was near the Lowry theatre, we should have checked first though! There is no pool or sauna. The staff in the breakfast restaurant were not attentive to us and treated us differently to other guests.
