Best Luxury Hotels in Salford

A fashionable address and celebrity haunt, The Lowry has an Elemis spa with eight treatment rooms, a relaxation area and a sauna, plus a hair salon. Rooms also have the wellness brand’s toiletries, along with huge windows, walk-in wardrobes, baths and fine artwork. The Hotel is named after one of Manchester’s most famed artists and hosts revolving art and photography exhibitions. Head to the first floor River Restaurant and Bar for hearty a la carte dishes, or lighter bites – kids can select from a mini gourmet menu (toddlers eat for free, with those under 12 at half price).

These five-star suites sit across from the River Irwell, in Salford, within walking distance to high-end department stores, two railway stations and the buzz of Exchange Square. 237 apartments are housed in a glass and steel-built property, with soundproofing, blackout curtains, White Company toiletries, full-sized kitchens and a home-from-home feel, ideal for those here for an extended stay. On the ground floor, you’ll find an 18-metre swimming pool with a hot tub and a state-of-the-art gym, with equipment that retains the details of your personal workout programme. Personal training and pilates sessions are also available.
