Whitworth Locke

Whitworth Locke Civic Quarter | Manchester

Building on the fabric of Manchester.

Building on the fabric of Manchester.

With its stunning communal spaces and spacious, one-of-a-kind apartments, Whitworth Locke is more than just a place to stay – it’s a space to live.

Set in a 19th Century cotton factory, every area – from the beautiful Conservatory Bar to the spacious co-working lounge – celebrates the building’s quirks and features. There’s also a packed calendar of events, pop-ups and fitness classes for you to join in with, if you fancy. And if you’re heading out, you’re just minutes from the city’s best bars, shops and nightlife. Settle in, and see Manchester differently.

Exploring

Exploring

Going out or staying in? We bring the best of Manchester into our spaces, and provide our guests with lots of local tips. So you can see more of the good stuff (and less of the tourist traps). 

Explore local area.

Love Manchester.

Wake up with a freshly roasted coffee from Foundation Coffee House. Spend the day in the Northern Quarter, with its colourful street art, independent shops and buzzing atmosphere. Before exploring Manchester’s best bars and restaurants after dark – just minutes from our door. 

Opposite the much-loved Canal Street and around an 8-minute walk from Piccadilly Station, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better-located Manchester hotel. What’s more, when you stay at Whitworth Locke, you get all the best bits of a boutique hotel with the space and facilities of a serviced apartment. So you can experience the city, rather than just observe. And live, instead of stay. 

What's on.

Hi Lydia, Thanks for the 10/10 review - we love hearing when we get it right! One of our best features is having the option to cook so I'm glad to hear you appreciated this too.

Response from Management
Hi Michael, Thanks for taking the time to review your stay with us and highlighting our friendly team. Housekeeping do a great job so thanks for acknowledging their cleaning efforts too. Well done for persevering with the microwave! We do have instructional videos for the various appliances in the room which we send over whatsapp if anyone is having difficulty. Well noted regarding the bed close to the wall and storage options. We'll take this into consideration when discussing future improvements at the hotel. The items you've listed should be present in all apartments - they're usually in a drawer within a cupboard so sometimes a little difficult to spot. We've had a few comments regarding lighting when getting ready, so we're trialling some additional lighting and hope to implement this across all rooms if satisfactory. We hope this goes to show that we do take on board feedback and it's suggestions like yours that help us continually improve our offering. Many thanks, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team
