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 Clare, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your lovely comments about the room, facilities and products! It is a shame to see that despite all the pros we weren't able to impress you more than a 7.5 on this occasion. I will definitely feedback your comments about the paint refresh! Regarding the sponge I am sorry this was missing, please in future let us know at reception and we will get one brought up right away, also if you could let us know what you mean by tubes, I will look into this for you, feel free to email us at [email protected] and we will look into this. Thank you so much again, we hope to welcome you back soon, Izzy and The Whitworth Team

With the lighting, it was designed to be calming environment and environmentally friendly, we have extra lamps available for guests if they'd like. For the accessibility needs, we do have different types of accessible twin rooms, with different layouts, we would be more than happy to show you the rooms that best suit your accessibility needs. But overall, very glad to see that you enjoyed your stay! With Tesco being outside and the amenities in the room (dishwasher etc.). Hope to see you again soon! Kieran, House Host.
