The Whitworth Locke Aparthotel is an achingly cool aparthotel situated in the heart of Manchester. Spread over three former export mills, this property has been transformed by New York-based architects who have embraced and softened the cotton mills' original features, such as exposed bricks and pillars, with pastel paints and an energetic jungle theme. The Whitworth Locke Aparthotel Manchester is part of an initiative led by the city's hotel and serviced apartment providers to create exciting new events and activities, encouraging more people to visit Manchester and Salford.
Ideally located just 200 meters from Canal Street and 300 meters from The Palace Theatre, Whitworth Locke Aparthotel is within minutes from the city's famous Northern Quarter, which is home to independent shops, bars and restaurants. The nearest car park is the NCP Palace on Whitworth Street, and Whitworth Locke is 0.7 km from Manchester Piccadilly and 15 km from Manchester Airport.
Each apartment in Whitworth Locke boasts original features like exposed brick walls, a colour palette inspired by the Manchester skyline, and a stylish black kitchen for cooking in. Guests can expect a fully-equipped Smeg kitchen with dining table, hob, fridge/freezer and microwave oven. The rooms offer far more space than you would find in a boutique hotel, with a king-size bed and comfy sofa in the separate living area.
Dining options are aplenty in Manchester, with a strong focus on seasonality and sourcing locally from around the North-West of England. The on-site restaurant, Peru Perdu, offers UWA – Uruguayan Wet Aged – steaks and ceviche, as well as all sorts of plant-based dishes and delicacies. The Ceviche bar marries Peruvian authenticity with a local appetite for globally-influenced food.
Moving on to services, The Locker Room gym in the cellar is another stylish space, designed for free weights and yoga. The hotel also provides a co-working space for guests who have a presentation to finesse or a brainstorm to run.
