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.

Space, friendly staff....

Positive: Space, friendly staff. Negative: Lack of air conditioning.
Response from Management
Hey Ranjit, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Glad to see you enjoyed your overall stay, in spite of the lack of air-con. With it being a listed building installation of aircon is a little tricky, although we do have fans to help keep you cool during warmer weather. Hope to welcome you back in the future. Best, Vanessa & The Whitworth Team

Brilliant stay, had a lovely time....

Response from Management
Hi Karen, Thank you for the lovely review! Glad to hear you had a great stay. Duly noted regarding the lighting and plug sockets. The rooms do feature ambient lighting, however some are brighter than others so if you do stay again it's worth adding a note so we can try to allocate you a brighter room.

Charging £291.90 for one night stay....

Charging £291.90 for one night stay. Had to cancel trip due to a job loss and they wont refund any of the payment even though I'm trying to cancel 3 months...
Response from Management
Hi Liam, I am sorry to hear that your travel plans have been cancelled, and we understand how disappointing this must be for you. The rate is high on your specific dates as it crosses over with the Conservative Party Conference in the city, where the city reaches demand beyond capacity. I wish we could be more flexible in this situation, but as your reservation was made under a promotionally priced non-refundable and non-amendable policy in lieu of the flexibilty, we are unfortunately unable to offer a refund or change the booking. I understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, and I regret that we cannot accommodate your request. If you require any documentation to support a travel insurance claim, we would be happy to assist. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do to help. At present, your booking is still live, and not cancelled - to receive receipts to claim against insurance, we require you to cancel through our booking system, or in writing to confirm cancellation. Best regards, Mark Clinton General Manager [email protected]
