The Lowry Hotel

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.
