The Lowry Hotel
The first 5-star hotel in Manchester is unique and unmistakable. A world away from the artist’s matchstick men, The Lowry Hotel symbolises the new, bold Manchester. You’ll find us by the river in the heart of the city, where historic streets meet modern flair. Our contemporary rooms and suites are the largest of all the hotels in Manchester, our restaurant and bar among the city’s finest. Sitting opposite the sails of Santiago Calatrava’s equally striking Trinity Bridge, our hotel is a vibrant landmark in a city bursting with energy.
