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.

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.

Great hotel with excellent staff offering a warm Manchester welcome.

Friendly and efficient welcome and check in. Smiling staff.

Not the hotel’s fault but bridge over river to city centre is closed for renovations and so takes a few minutes longer to get there.

It’s all a little tired now after many years of visiting. Net curtains in room 227 had rips in them. The floor tiling leading past the toilets to the restaurant were shabby. However Denilson in the restaurant was excellent.

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.

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.
