The setting
The Lowry Hotel sits on the bank of the River Irwell at Chapel Wharf, on the Salford side of the water where Manchester city centre begins. A short walk over the footbridge brings you to the shops and squares of the centre, so you stay close to everything without being on top of the traffic. The building is modern and quiet, with floor-to-ceiling glass that looks out over the river and the city skyline.
What to expect
Rooms are spacious and calm, with large windows, a seating area and a marble bathroom with a walk-in shower and lit mirror. The Executive Double comes with a city or river outlook and room to spread out. Downstairs there is a restaurant and bar overlooking the water, a fitness room with free weights and a spa for treatments. Service is steady and unhurried, the kind that handles small requests without fuss.
Things to do nearby
You are within a few minutes' walk of plenty. The People's History Museum is around 300 metres away, and St. Ann's Church and the Royal Exchange Theatre are both under 500 metres. Exchange Square, with its shops and seasonal markets, is a short stroll across the river. Manchester Cathedral, the city's best-known landmark, stands about 485 metres from the door, so a morning walk can take in several sights before lunch.
Best for
Couples after a city break with a bit of space and quiet. The riverside setting, the spa and the easy walk into the centre suit anyone who wants Manchester close by but prefers to come back to somewhere calm.
