The Lowry Hotel, Salford

• Five-star fabulousness: With a dramatic glass-fronted façade overlooking the River Irwell, The Lowry Hotel was Manchester's first five-star hotel and remains among the most stylish abodes in this oh-so happening city. Located in the new Chapel Wharf area, you'll have easy access to the city centre via Trinity Bridge and can reach Manchester Cathedral in just five minutes.
  
  

• Dine in style: Awarded Visit England's Bronze Award for Excellence, this treasure has a snazzily refurbished restaurant overlooking the river with a modern menu of local and seasonal produce at the forefront. Try afternoon tea (with a little champagne), head to the bar for cocktails, and make your way out onto the terrace for year-round al fresco dining.
  
  

• Soothing spa moments: Refurbished to a high standard, the hotel's spa offers an impressive menu of massages, facials and body treatments, many of which use GAIA, ELEMIS and Grown Alchemist products for a truly luxurious finish. Make the most of the gym and yoga studio, and experience cutting-edge technology across the cryotherapy chamber, meditation pod, and sensory deprivation tank.
