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.

Location and secure parking, great breakfast and a really good 3 course Sunday Lunch.

Other 4-5* hotels across the UK offer in room welcome treats, which was a disappointment not to be offered!

Surprised by the location

The staff were absolutely brilliant !! Realy friendly and so helpful. The location of the hotel was surprisingly close to the centre, just a very short walk over the bridge, no need to move your car or get a taxi.

My only issue was it didn't have a pool. But the location made up for it.

Amazing hotel with amazing breakfast

Excellent hotel very clean and elegant. The breakfast was amazing with lots of options, we ordered from a set menu which was amazing but you could also use the buffet too. Rooms were spacious and very clean

Unfortunately I didn’t get much sleep due to the mattress and pillows being uncomfortable.

Fabulous

The hotel, staff and general facilities were very good. Rooms are very comfortable, spacious and to a high standard.

Breakfast service was not good. It was vry busy and not enough staff to deal with it. We were seated in the bar area, but didnt have the table set up before we sat down and so had no cutlery and had to request this. we were also not given any menus and therefore no options were given other than the buffet. Due to how busy it was, the breakfast buffet was very low on items and so i was unable to have the breakfast that had been paid for as part of our booking.

Excellent, will visit again!

The room was spacious, with great decor and amenities. Lovely king size bed, comfortable and clean. Useful products in the bathroom as well. Definitely one of the best rooms I’ve stayed in the U.K. Breakfast menu and buffet options also a plus.

Very comfortable and welcoming

The room was huge and very confortable, there were plenty of amenities and it was very clean and well-presented. The staff were very friendly when checking in and out, and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was just a short walk away from the AO Arena, making it a great choice to stay after a concert

The mini-bar auto charging on picking items up didn't seem as well sign posted as it could have been, the prices for which were also hidden at the back of the menu booklet, with a different menu over the top

Great option if you are arriving by car

We’ve stayed here many times over many years when visiting family in the area. Parking is available which is a huge bonus in Manchester City Centre. The rooms are bigger than average and are consistently well kept.

We’ve never had breakfast here as it has not been included in the room rate and very expensive. It would be fabulous if there were a least a coffee stand selling drinks and pastries/muffins in the (huge) lobby - as per American hotels. It would really be a nice touch as the nearest coffee shop/cafe is a walk over the bridge into the main shopping area.

5* service and best location for easy access

From the moment I arrived, the doorman was so courteous and helpful, I arrived early so was unable to check in immediately, but explained I was attending a meeting. The reception quickly took my details and luggage for storage, and advised when I returned that I could collect my room key. The Manager and all staff in the bar were wonderful and very welcoming, and the cocktails were amazing. I look forward to my return.

Comfortable, outstanding cleanliness, wonderful reception team

Reception team were friendly and efficient. Really liked the extra touch of calling the room after check in to check we were happy with the room and if we needed anything. The only thing that changed my score from a 10 to an 8 was the arrival at the restaurant for breakfast, 4 staff members walking around and we not acknowledged until the door host came from out the back. The same thing happened to another 3 guests that came in once we had been seated. It felt a little disorganised.
