The Lowry Hotel

Good news for fitness fashionistas! Spa packages at The Lowry Hotel include access to its chic on-site gym and fitness classes. Pack your snazziest activewear - the hotel’s such a celebrity hangout you could find yourself downward dogging next to the stars!

With free weights and Technogym cardio machines, the small (yet perfectly formed) gym has everything you need for a whole-body workout. Don’t like to go it alone? Visit the super swish RE:TREAT Studio for specialised wellness classes like Tantric yoga, somatic yoga and Pilates.

For those who like to exercise outdoors, you’ll find plenty of fantastic running and walking spots on the hotel’s doorstep. The Lowry Hotel can even suggest a two-mile route that takes in views of Beetham Tower, the Museum of Science and Industry, and Manchester Cathedral - so you can sightsee while you sweat.

Five-star hotels need five-star eating and drinking options, and The Lowry Hotel doesn’t disappoint. Hit The Lowry Bar & Lounge for happy hour. Indulge with a perfectly prepared cocktail, some tempting small plates and a spot of our live music.

Dinner at its two-AA-rosette-winning River Restaurant is a very elegant affair, complete with riverside views. There’s even a fabulous al-fresco terrace (said to be the city’s largest) for a pre-dinner glass of bubbly.

Featuring a dynamic menu inspired by a variety of cuisines, there’s sure to be something that takes your fancy. Can’t decide? The pared-down Chef’s Choice Menu showcases the best of the best, selected by the talented team themselves.

No. The RE:TREAT at The Lowry Hotel is an urban spa and as such, it does not have any wet facilities. What it does have, though, are results-driven treatments along with a relaxation room and some unique spa experiences. If a spa experience comes as part of your package you can choose from the cryotherapy chamber, meditation pod and sensory deprivation tank. 

There sure is. Check in for the night in one of the 165 rooms, including five junior suites, six riverside suites and one top-of-the-range Presidential suite. No matter which one you choose you’ll have a great night’s sleep - they all offer unparalleled comfort and luxury. 

Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in wardrobes and huge comfy beds. Deluxe and Superior rooms are exactly the same in size, but the upgrade gives you restful river views, fluffy bathrobes and a leather chaise longue to relax on.

Built in 2001, Manchester’s first five-star hotel sits on the original site of a printing company famous for creating the Dandy and Beano comics. 

Named after the 20th-century painter L.S. Lowry, the hotel still proudly supports its local artists. The public areas and hallways of The Lowry Hotel feature a rotating exhibition of artists and photographers whose work captures Manchester’s edge and energy.

Yes there is. No need to pack a ball gown, but you’ll need something smart-casual for the bar and River Restaurant.

The Lowry Hotel is picturesquely perched on the River Irwell, just over the border in Salford. You’ll find it in the recently-developed Chapel Wharf area, just a five-minute stroll to the bright lights of the city centre. Exchange Square and Spinningfields are both within easy walking distance, too.

Yes it is. So if you’ve got a luxury-loving little one, bring them along! From the Chill Factore indoor ski slope to museum’s galore, Manchester’s full of exciting things to do, and The Lowry Hotel makes an excellent base to explore them all. 

If they’re under 12, sofa bed rooms will keep you all comfy, or choose interconnecting rooms if you’re travelling with teens. In the school holidays they even put on special kids’ amenities, such as ‘Lowry Loot’ that the kids can spend in the hotel on cookies and mocktails. 

Yes it is. The hotel was purpose-built in 2001. As a result, guests with additional access needs can stay in rooms which feature lowered wardrobes and desks, more space and extra features such as vibrating pillows in case of emergency.

Tell Fido to pack his suitcase. He’s coming to Manchester! Two dogs, per room, can stay at The Lowry Hotel, for £30 each in a pet-friendly room. For that they’ll get their own bed, water bowls and doggie treats will be provided. And with no upper size limit all pups are welcome, whether you’ve got a St Bernard or a chihuahua. 

Take them for walkies by the river, then wipe muddy paws at reception with the towels provided. Then, when it’s time for din-dins, good boys and girls can join you on the terrace - just not in the bar or restaurant.
