We needed to be in Manchester for a couple of days - and booked this due to its star rating and company pedigree. Good greeting, excellent room, wonderul location. Got canal view room we requested (the city view room was not the heart of city - drab carpark) Downsides: 1) bathroom size and layout dated now for 5* standards (shower... more

This hotel was pure luxury....the service was impeccable from the moment we arrived. Our room was lovely...even if the city view was of the car park..but it was huge with a dressing room and a lovely chaise longe...and the bed was just so comfortable...i slept so well for two nights. There was a turn down night service and bottles of... more

As frequent visitors to this lovely hotel i feel qualified to write the following review fairly,as we have used the Lowry faciliteis, spa, restaurant etc almost since the day it opened. i feel very sad to say that we will not be returning due to the attitude of just one man, the head of concierge. Repeatedly over the years this... more

Greeted on arrival and bags were taken to our room. Concierge/Reception extremely helpful. Room was minimalist and luxurious. A winning combination. Great access to city centre. Food was lovely but small portions and not great choice. Food/drinks very pricey but that's what you expect. We were always addressed by our names. Unfortunately our room was above a function room and... more

My overwhelming impression of this hotel, where I have stayed three or four times on trips to Manchester, is that while it is materially very comfortable, it just lacks soul. I understand that in a Travelodge, but in a five star deluxe hotel, it's really rather strange. Despite the out-of-the-way location and the rather dire views, The Lowery has all... more

My husband and I stayed at The Lowry as we were visiting Manchester to see The Eagles at the MEN Arena. We chose it becuase my husband has stayed there on business before and could recommend it, and also because it was walking distance to the MEN. As you approach the hotel for the first time you wonder if you've... more

My wife and I decided to stay at the Lowry to celebrate our Wedding anniversary .When we checked in this fact was mentioned to the girl at reception, and we thought nothing more of it. After an afternoons shopping in Manchester ,when we got back to our room we were surprised and delighted to find the management had left us... more
