Frommer's Review
Sexy and sinuous, this hotel rises on the banks of the Irwell River in an increasingly gentrified section of Manchester, Salford, which is most often compared to New York's SoHo. The windows of the bedrooms open onto a modern footbridge linking this once blighted industrial zone to the heart of town. The 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 new Chapel Wharf development. The Lowry offers bedrooms of maximum comfort with deluxe furnishings and state-of-the-art marble bathrooms with tub and shower. The sleek design was directed by Olga Polizzi, who has helped redefine chic in the U.K. Polizzi's trademarks are wedge-wood paneling, built-in furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Many patrons visit just to sample the international cuisine of the hotel's brasserie-style restaurant, The River Room Marco Pierre White, which overlooks the water.
