Frommer's Review
Sexy and sinuous, the Lowry is the best hotel in the region. The hotel rises on the banks of the Irwell River in a gentrified neighborhood of Salford, a sister city whose borders with Manchester grow blurred, and which is most often compared to New York's SoHo. The windows of the bedrooms open onto a distinctively modern footbridge linking this once blighted industrial zone to the heart of town. The steel-and-glass edifice exudes a sense of airy, spacious luxury living. This government-rated five-star hotel (rare in this part of England) is part of the Chapel Wharf development. The Lowry offers bedrooms of maximum comfort with deluxe yet minimalist furnishings and state-of-the-art marble-trimmed bathrooms. Many patrons visit just to sample the international cuisine of the hotel's River Restaurant.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
