Canal-side aparthotel with city buzz

Set in Manchester’s civic quarter beside the Rochdale Canal, this design-led aparthotel makes longer stays easy without losing the fun of a city break. Apartments keep the warehouse character with exposed brick, pillars and big factory windows, then add modern touches like custom furniture and tonal colours. On-site, there’s seasonal British dining at Winsome and a fully kitted black Smeg kitchen in every apartment for meals on your schedule.

  • British cooking, done thoughtfully

    Winsome serves seasonal, local British plates led by Chef Patron Shaun Moffat.

  • Serious training space

    An on-site cross-fit gym brings high-intensity workouts, guests 18 and over.

  • Right in the action

    Minutes from Chinatown, with the Northern Quarter a short stroll away.

Staff made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived, they were all helpful and cheerful. Our room was larger than anticipated with kitchen facilities - wished we could have stayed longer! Good large fan a bonus. Well stocked bar, plenty of seating. Breakfast more than adequate and we were served at our table which was a nice surprise. Everywhere clean and tidy. Overall a pleasant stay in a central location.

Great place to be on a mixed work leisure trip. Good wifi, a kitchen equipped with good appliances, nice bathroom. It really feels like a studio apartment more than a hotel room. Very cozy. I loved the design. The location is perfect too, super close to the train station, Canal Street, shops, restaurants, and close to Campuses. All walking distance. Fully recommend. And I’ll be back :)

Very smart, clean and quiet room. The bed was comfortable. There was a lovely hot and powerful walk in shower. For a Locke hotel there was pretty good storage. Despite lots of stylish lighting it was all a bit dim. The wooden floor was actually so shiny it was slippery!
