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.”

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.

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.

10/10 stay! From the staff to the room, all round perfect!
Gorgeous hotel, we was greeted by such friendly staff the minute we walked in we arrived a few hours earlier than our check in time to leave our cases whilst we waited but she was so helpful that our room was actually ready when we arrived so she sorted us to our rooms as soon as we got there, nothing seems to much trouble for them they will help with anything you need, our room was spot on, lovely view from our window, toiletries including shower caps and hair ties, robes and slippers, safety deposit box which actually works, silk hangers for delicate clothing, mini bar fully stocked with wine, cider, larger, spirits and soft drinks as well as sparkling and still waters and a snack counter fully stocked with crisps, trail mix, sweets. Nuts, honey, popcorn and chocolate, the tea and coffee that was provided too the tea was so nice, we ordered room service for our evening meal and the lady who brought the food to our room was so polite and helpful, the food was fresh and hot and tasted incredible, same vibe at checking out friendly kind and warm hospitality. Definitely recommend this hotel.
We had no dislikes about this hotel we would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of staying here and we will definitely be making this our new Manchester hotel choice.

It’s the kind of hotel that makes you want to come back before you’ve even left.
From check-in to checkout, everything about The Lowry Hotel was incredible. The moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcome. The rooms are massive and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. Breakfast was another highlight. Quality ingredients, perfectly cooked, and served in a relaxed setting with great service. It’s the kind of hotel that makes you want to come back before you’ve even left.

Fantastic hotel and great location
Great location and very large rooms. Mo and Luke the two porters couldn’t do enough for us plus they gave us lots of helpful information of the area.
Nothing really only a small thing water and tea bags were not replaced.

Fantastic. The perfect base for my work function in Deansgate and also for exploring the city.
Loved everything about it! All of the staff were attentive, kind and friendly whilst remaining professional. The facilities were pristine but not clinical. The bar snacks were delicious and the breakfast was varied, fresh and tasty. Just a great place to stay.
