A contemporary five-star hotel on the River Irwell at Chapel Wharf, a short walk from Deansgate and Manchester's main shopping streets.
The Lowry Hotel is a five-star property at 50 Dearmans Place, Chapel Wharf, on the Salford bank of the River Irwell in Greater Manchester, England. The location places it directly opposite the Spinningfields district and a short walk across the river from Deansgate, Manchester Central and the main shopping streets. Manchester Victoria and Deansgate stations are both within reasonable walking distance, and the city centre tram network is close by, which makes the hotel practical for both leisure travellers and visitors attending events in the centre of Manchester.
The building is a contemporary glass-fronted tower that was designed to take advantage of its riverside setting, and the hotel is named after the Salford painter L. S. Lowry. The style is modern rather than historic, with clean lines, generous public spaces and large windows that frame views over the Irwell and the city skyline. Many bedrooms and suites have river or skyline outlooks, which is one of the property's distinguishing features among Manchester luxury hotels.
Room types include Deluxe rooms, River View rooms and Suites. Rooms are large by city-centre standards and typically include a work desk, a rain shower or deep bath, and air conditioning. Standard amenities include Wi-Fi, room service and a gym, and a spa offers treatments for guests who want to relax after a day of sightseeing or business meetings.
Dining centres on The River Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with a menu built around British produce and views of the water. The bar is a popular spot for cocktails and afternoon tea, and the breakfast service is generally regarded as a strong point of a stay. Room service extends the options for guests who prefer to eat in their rooms.
The service character is polished and business-friendly while remaining welcoming to couples and weekend visitors. A concierge helps with theatre tickets, restaurant bookings and transport, and the hotel is often used for corporate stays because of its proximity to the Spinningfields offices and the courts. Rates in the low season typically fall between GBP 190 and 260 per night, rising to GBP 240 to 380 in the high season, with the highest prices usually seen on major event and concert weekends.
