The Edwardian Manchester, A Radisson Collection Hotel

My sister and I stayed for one night (Mon-Tues) and had one of the most wonderful and memorable experiences we’ve ever had together. |On arrival we were greeted by the friendliest and warmest welcome and at check in I mentioned that my sister was over from Sydney for a few weeks and that I was treating her to a little stay together and they immediately upgraded us to a beautiful city view room. |Literally all the staff at the Edwardian, reception, bar, spa were all so generous and lovely. I cannot recommend staying here enough. |They even did a late check out time for us. |It made me feel quite emotional as a I realized it’s the people that make a difference. |The hotel itself is spotless and beautiful modern design in the rooms and all reception areas and especially the gym and spa. |I felt like I’d been on holiday (rejuvenated and refreshed) for a week even just after a 1 night stay. |I’ll end on the breakfast, wow! It’s one of the best I’ve had a hotel. There’s literally everything you could want, healthy - naughty options. |If I could give this hotel an 11 out of 10 I would. |Thank you to all the staff at the Edwardian for our memorable and brilliant stay.

Beautiful hotel, spacious comfy room. Friendly staff. The spa is gorgeous, although I didn't like that there's a no slippers/flip flops policy, bare feet only. Great location. Quiet room. Really comfy bed and sheets. Very good in-dining room service. Excellent overall.

We've just stayed at the Edwardian to celebrate a special wedding anniversary (despite living only 10 miles out of the city). The lovely Myen upgraded us to a suite - we were thrilled! The hotel is great, centrally located and with a stylish decor and welcoming vibe. We also loved the pool and steam room/sauna. Delicious breakfast. Staff are friendly and attentive. We would recommend!

Every aspect of my visit exceeded expectations. The room was spacious, elegant, and beautifully furnished. The breakfast included a wide variety of options, and the service throughout was consistently warm and attentive. The spa and fitness facilities were great, featuring a well-equipped gym, swimming pool, loungers, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room – ideal for both relaxation and recharging. The hotel is perfectly located in the heart of the city, making it convenient for both work and leisure. I had a productive yet incredibly relaxing stay and would absolutely love to return!

Great stay! The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed. Salvatore is the heart and soul of the bar! His energy, charisma, and attention to detail made every visit unforgettable. He crafts each drink with skill and passion, and his warm personality makes you feel like a regular—even on your first night. Whether you’re after a classic cocktail or something unique, trust Salvatore to deliver it with flair. Truly a world-class experience. We will definitely come back.

Let us start with the remarkable reception staff. Who make every effort to make your stay enjoyable. Not many hotel staff go as far as these guys and girls to remember your name so they can greet you each time correctly. Outstanding in my opinion. Kyaw who dealt with us made our check in enjoyable and gave us lots of helpful information. Our stay including spa and amazing breakfast. I cannot say the fusion restaurant was my thing but it did taste good and will give us a memory.

Upon arrival at the hotel, we were told we had been "upgraded"—a claim that was, quite frankly, misleading. What was described as an upgrade was, in reality, a clear downgrade. As guests from London accustomed to genuine five-star standards, we found this initial deception deeply disappointing. The amenities were subpar. The gowns provided lacked belt loops, rendering them practically unusable—a basic oversight that reflects poorly on the hotel's attention to detail. For a property that markets itself as five-star, this was simply unacceptable. The customer service was appalling. At check-in, there was no effort made to explain the room’s features or facilities. We were left entirely on our own to navigate the room, with zero engagement or hospitality from the staff. Our interaction with the night manager, Mohammed, was particularly disturbing. When we asked about a late check-out, he remained slouched in a chair and, without even pretending to check the system, responded curtly and dismissively: “No late check-out.” The tone and attitude were shockingly unprofessional—completely devoid of courtesy or empathy. To make matters worse, when we mentioned that the bath was unusable due to a faulty plug, he responded by laughing and remarked, “Oh well, I’m the night manager, you should have reported this in the morning.” There was no apology, no accountability, and certainly no attempt to resolve the issue. This experience fell far below any acceptable standard, let alone that of a five-star establishment. The lack of professionalism, disregard for guest comfort, and poor customer service make it abundantly clear that this hotel is in no way deserving of its purported rating. A truly appalling experience from start to finish!

This hotel is in the perfect location really, one on of the main stretches in Manchester you are bound to be near your destination of choice. We stayed here to visit nearby Co-Op Live arena, which was just down the road for us. The hotel is absolutely stunning and great combination of old meets new, period meets modern etc. The way the designs have been bought together is seamless and superb! The hotel lobby, reception and atrium is beautiful and very appealing. A lovely atmosphere too. The check-in staff were polite, but stopped short of offering to get help with luggage, which is something I would’ve expected for a 5-star venue. Regardless, the suites are lovely and are based inside the original building and not the modern extension. We had Suite 522 and had a lovely private terrace. Worth noting though that our suite was totally different to that shown online in terms of amenities and the physical layout and seating in the room, which was a bit of a set back. The breakfast restaurant is a lovely environment and really great decor. But that’s where the positives end for this. There are simply too many tables crammed into a very small space, meaning you’re on top of everyone whilst eating. When the table next to you wants to get up, they’re uncomfortably close to putting their butt in your face! Similarly, the layout of the breakfast offerings is beautiful and very visually appealing, but again, there is just not enough space to manoeuvre without bumping into fellow guests or staff. This we found to be a major setback to us, as we simply don’t like overcrowding at all.

Very nice hotel with a nice pool and spa, also there's a gym. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nice clean modern rooms. I was there for a business event and the service was above expectations! They made it super nice for us and we all went back with a very positive experience:) Excellent location in the centre of the city with everything you need within a short walking distance. Would definitely come back again!

Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester is one of the few luxury "five-star hotels" in Manchester. Located on Peter Street, just off Deansgate in Manchester city centre this stunning hotel, opened in 2006 is somewhere I've wanted to visit for a while. In the past, it has even been home to footballers including Benjamin Mendy, Leroy Sane and Zlatan, it is also a regular haunt for away football teams including PSG who stayed here ahead of their game versus United, I even managed to see Kylian Mbappe in the lift! Considering this is a "five-star" hotel, it does sometimes have good, affordable deals, I paid £100 for my room on a Sunday in early February, with breakfast costing just £12.50 more for two people, but rooms do often go much higher often costing between £126 and £200, and sometimes going much higher than that so the hotel is generally on the pricey side most of the time. I still don't understand why third-party booking agents are so much cheaper even by 20%+ in some cases, which was the reason I booked my reservation through Hotels.com Check out is far too early at 11, but they had no problem extending it to a more suitable time. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was greeted by a lovely employee who helped me into check-in and then shown me my room, kind and helpful, making sure I had everything I needed, including lowering the card hold from £100 to £1.50 because I didn't plan on any extras. The service in most cases was impeccable, one of the maids even offered to turn the bed over after emptying my minibar. The hotel lobby is also stunning, I was offered water on check-in which was infused with mint and lemon and tasted great. There was also two bottles of complimentary water in my room including fresh fruit accompanied by a personalised, hand-written welcome note, a lovely touch. Sadly they could only place me on the second floor, however, the room seemed to be mostly quiet as there were multiple doors between the lift, there was standard corridor noise but this wasn't as bad as other hotels, every door and lift in the hotel did require the room key - inconvenient but a safety feature. This hotel is stunning and modern, with large smart TVs including all Sky Sports channels (best TV in a hotel!), USB and European charging plugs. (I would have liked one closer to the bed!) The room also has a nice glass desk which is a perfect, spacious work area. Other modern features include a switch to open and close the blinds in the room, as well as a "do not disturb" switch rather than the sign which is used in 99% of hotels. I also liked how the hotel relied less on natural light which many modern hotels do now, hence having lights around the room including above each individual bed which can be turned on/off in parallel, making the room much brighter & nicer. I found my room to be warm and spacious, the heating system was easy to use and much quicker than other hotels I've stayed in again. The large bathroom with a stunning walk-in shower also was excellent. Information provided to guests from the excellent staff at reception and even through the live-chat system either with a senior hotel staff member or Edward, the virtual assistant which can answer most problems instantly which all hotel guests get. If the issue is too complex for Edward, the hotel gets back to you quite quickly such as when I had an issue with the fire drill - I was phoned in under an hour to confirm it is generally around 2 pm on a Monday. The hotel operator when needed, answered the phone quickly even at busy times. My room was almost perfect with a great TV and a comfy bed. I would have liked: having a pen instead of a pencil, earl grey tea in addition to English Breakfast & Chamomile and a larger bed. (I was given a room with two twin beds.) The tea however from the high-end Newby brand was fantastically luxurious. The wi-fi was super fast, with download speeds of around 90 Mbps, it is by far the fastest wifi I've experienced in a hotel. A decent breakfast is served in the Peter Street Kitchen between 7 and 10:30 Monday-Saturday (+1/2 an hour for Sundays & bank holidays). I added it at a reduced rate of £6.25 from £20. (see https://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/peter-street-kitchen-manchester) Overall with a comfy bed, I did have a decent sleep but struggled down to the size of the bed and slight corridor noises. I was told it wouldn't be possible to put an extra bed into a double room - therefore I was offered an upgrade for my next visit to the hotel later that week to the stunning Junior Suite. It was simply spectacular with a huge, comfy bed, an even bigger TV, coffee machine, a personalised housekeeper & more. In over 2100 reviews and close to 50 hotel reviews, I've never seen a hotel like this - luxurious, fantastic and with my only complaint is there's nothing to complain about, so with great delight, I am awarding the Edwardian a coveted five-star rating with the only main improvement being to keep working at this standard.

My room felt dungeonesque after the first night of a 3 week stay and Naomi has kindly moved me to a higher floor which is much brighter The construction noise isn't so bad if you're a guest, although had I known, I would have postponed my stay George, Kris and Naomi embody all the qualities; kindness, warmth and proficiency every guest would hope to experience, and I thank them for that Hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of great restaurants, galleries etc Service n the bar is excellent, a good place for a well made G & T!

I was there for two nights and it was just perfect. If I would go back in Manchester, I will go in this hotel.The room was nice and enough big. Very good bed. The personal were helpful and professional. The hotel has also a SPA, very nice and everything was clean.

Rilyu Bar Amazing Japanese Fusion Drinks and array of Gin and Tonics, fancy but approachable!! Bartenders that are willing to teach you about the drinks- As for Ralph Came back here twice!

After spending the day in manchester we decided last minute to book a room in town. We were seeing a Gig in the evening at the Albert hall and the radisson was conveniently just over the road. This hotel is lovely, great foyer with interesting sculptures (giant cockerel, chickens, llamas to name a few). Pull up outside and the concierge service will take your car off to a mystery car park. Loads of seating in reception and conveniently linked to the restaurant 'steak and lobster' which I've been hearing heaps about recently (a 10lb rib eye or a whole lobster with unlimited chips and a salad for only £17 don't ha know..) We were taken up to our room on the 6th floor. Absolutely gorgeous, massive bed and perfectly comfy. A Sony smart TV, iPhone dock, sky sports, what can I say. A great room. The bathroom had a bath and shower, plenty of space, modern and clean. For the men, there was a small mirror in the shower for face shaving. The main mirror and sink are outside the bathroom (nice touch for those of us liking to dry their hair and seeing themselves in the mirror post washing) and the nearby plug sockets meant u could actually use your hair dryer without having to balance or stretch in any strange positions. Not that this was needed anyway as there was a hair dryer provided in the secret mirrored cupboard that was the most free mirror. Ok. Enough about the mirrors. Dressing gowns, iron, mini bar like no other and curtains that closed at the push of a button. Honestly, I think this hotel room had it all. We had a great nights sleep in this hotel and woke up a little worse for wear after the rugby and the gig and ordered a full English to the room. This is £20 per head but one was more than enough. I'll let the photo do the talking... Check out was quick and easy. Parking was £20 and the car needs to be collected before 2pm. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. Thanks for making the weekend that little bit more perfect radisson

Now this is what I call a hotel! A place that is luxurious, romantic, cutting's design and fantastic service. If you don't want to risk trying to figure out which boutiques may be any good this is the safe option that will never fail to impress- anyone. You would be hard pushed to find anyone who could fault Manchester's Raddison....it is beautiful. We found it very hard to leaver the hotel and in the morning to rise from such a comfortable king-sized bed. I will without a doubt stay here many more times again and you should too!

Nice location...relatively better staff....moderate rooms...worth of the money I paid ?...in doubt...

Controversial I know - but I'm not a fan. This is by no way a bad review, but as Yelp suggests 'Meh. I've experienced better'. I've stayed in nicer, sleeker, cheaper and lesser starred establishments that have frankly been better. The building from the outside is very grand, ditto the reception area which is to be expected in a 5*. The Mrs and I went for an anniversary trip away to the city and she booked this place as a treat based on the 5* and great reviews. Having just arrived to Manchester, we checked in but were not explained about the key needing to operate the lift past the conference floors. We felt very ditzy when we worked this all out - but it did take a min! The room was quite basic and a bit run down really. Scuffs and bangs everywhere. A complimentary bottle of warm water where the bottles were filled up to different levels which just made me suspect they were filling with tap water? Who knows. Poor tea/coffee offering and a slightly impractical bathroom/wet room where you ended up with your feet in shower water when using the loo after her shower. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. On the first night we ordered the vegetarian breakfast off the a la cart menu which came out cold and was pretty un-tasty. The Mrs sent it back to be heated and the waiter did not seem impressed at all. (which I have to say was the only negative experience we had with any staff members). The second breakfast we had the buffet and that was a lot better but slow to be filled up. The coffee was terrible. Overall I have to say that the staff were faultlessly polite. I can't however say that this stay was value at all and I wouldn't go back the next time I'm in the city.

This is definitely my favourite hotel in Manchester, not only because the staff are brilliant, the hotel location is perfect for getting around and the rooms are just excellent. Set in the Free a Trade Hall building in Peter Street, the Radisson Blu Edwardian is more than just a 5* hotel. It is a place to escape the crowds, has great food, superb spa and treatments on offer, as afternoon tea to die for. Should you arrive in to Manchester's Piccadilly Station, jump on to the free "Line 1 Metrobus" that stops outside the hotel. It's all too easy for words!

Newer property, modern. Breakfast as good as you'd expect it to be. Very nice rooms (little bit on the smaller side). Great location. Nothing to complain about anything. But what really takes it to five stars: The staff. Service and attentiveness are fantastic and everyone is extremely friendly. Would definitely stay there again. Parking: Three options. Valet for 35 GBP, self park in the same garage (3-4 min walk away) is less, or 10 GBP for a garage a 10 min walk away.

Five star hotel ...... five stars in my review ....absolute standard!!!! Radisson Edwardian....that's a mouthful isn't it? Arguably one of the best hotels in Manchester city centre, the Radisson is so much more than just a hotel. Let me start with Sienna, their inhouse spa. Wow!!! Without doubt, this has to be one of if not THE most luxurious spa facility in Manchester and maybe even the Northwest. With its relaxed atmosphere, friendly and professional staff and ultra-modern uber cool facilities escapism will never feel the same again. The decor is sumptuous, with a fusion of sun-bleached limestone, dark hardwoods, clean lines and soft, liquid forms that create a serene oasis in the city. There's a refreshingly diverse range of body-pampering packages available. This includes half-day packages, aromatherapy, massages and facials, reflexology and St Tropez self-tanning. But wait there's more....plus they also offer treatments that you may not get anywhere else, such as the Monticelli Mud or Body Strategist Anti-Cellulite treatments from Comfort Zone. The spa has an exclusivity deal with Comfort Zone's great skincare products - and talking of products, Sienna is also in partnership with Elemis, combining their range with Sienna's facilities to offer some unique mind and body spa experiences such as the Exotic Frangipani Body Nourish Wrap. So it really is a pampertastic spa which you other half may enjoy, male or female ;D Anyway back to the hotel.... The Radisson Edwardian's has 263 sumptuous rooms and suites in its backpocket. The rooms really do have the x-factor and are home to bespoke furniture, Bang and Olufsen televisions and Scandinavian slate bathrooms. Now during your stay you may well see lots of suits, that is because there are 18 meeting rooms and a major conference room to provide seating and restaurant-quality dining for up to 550. So no wonder the hotel is ideal for the corporate as well as leisure market. So...you got the spa, you got the luxurious rooms and you got the corporate facilities. Thus it comes as no surprise that the Radisson has two stunning restaurants (the glamorous Opus One Bar and Restaurant and the more relaxed Alto Bar and Restaurant) these are like icing onthe cake for the hotel adding contemporary style and fine dining to the equation. No wonder Man city are putting up Mancini here while he looks for a house..... treat yourself and check out the spa or treat someone with a break here...you well get super browny points...guaranteed!!!!

Incredible. Lap of luxury. Highly recommended. All the small details matter. Room was of the highest quality as was the service.

A nice hotel, in a great location. Unfortunately the service doesn't live up to the expectation. Whilst we were checking in we were told we had a "king" room. When we questioned if that was 2 beds (as we had requested and had the print out to prove it) we were told "no, you didn't request that". Once we showed her the print out that clearly stated "2 beds" the women rolled her eyes without saying a word and started furiously typing away. New keys were issued and slided across the counter. I totals get that mistakes can happen and don't have a problem with that. However an apology would have been nice instead of making us feel as if we had done something wrong. Upon departure my companion had 3 ( rather large) bags. While the doorman did open the door - IT IS HIS JOB AFTER ALL) he failed to ofer any help of carrying any of the bags down the few stairs to the street. Also no offer of hailing a cab. Sure they are little things, but things I'd expect from any hotel regardless of stars. It's just common courtesy ! Would I stay again? No. If I'm paying the price I paid, I expect at least basic service.

Superb hotel with a wonderfully welcoming and helpful staff located in the heart of Manchester. We stayed with them to take in the Manchester Derby and the hotel was most helpful in arranging transportation and even helping us get tickets. Would definitely recommend them to anyone interested in quality and comfort.

Awesome hotel! Was first time staying in a Radisson hotel and absolutely loved it. Was able to enjoy a free bar, stay up late with family, and enjoy a spectacular view of Manchester from the hotel room window. Only problem we had was a slight issue with the staff. We payed for a business class room and that included access to the business lounge with free drinks and a free breakfast. Unfortunately because we were dressed in plain clothes due to departing flight we were told we weren't allowed our breakfast and actually had to argue with the woman about our rooms. It put a sour taste in my mouth for the morning and honestly wanted to report her to a manager for how rude and disrespectful she was to us, however the food was lovely and made up for it. Ate far too much bacon! Other than the one woman, we had a superb stay and would recommend the hotel to anyone!

Gorgeous listed building in which this hotel is set. A fantastic location for shopping or going to the Palace Theatre etc. The rooms are luxurious with Bang & Olufsen tv's. The food is gorgeous, especially the breakfast which was lush, room service is avaliable too. The staff in this hotel were super, really friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel, it can be quite expensive but it is 5 stars!

Compared to every other 5 star hotel in Manchester this place rocks ! From the hotel rooms to the pool and bar and not to mention great customer service this place wins !!! Plus love the fact that the rooms come with a massive porch :)

what a gorgeous hotel. we went to spend some time with family at high tea. we brought along our 2 month old hoping the staff would put up with him. they were extremely accommodating and put up not only with him but also the two bull-in-china-shop americans who had no idea about etiquette. our server was patient in letting us switch back and forth between different pots of teas- some were really exotic. my favorite turned out to be something i'd never had before, lapsang souchang, a tea made by smoking the leaves over fires which for me evoked a sense of texas barbeque and campfires. i tried a couple other pots and thoroughly enjoyed the dainty, if not weird (cucumber sandwiches are way overhyped), finger foods (scones are awesome made awesomer by clotted cream) amidst the elegantly historical but modern setting. this is definitely something you have to experience, just be sure to budget for it as it's not cheap.

Amazing!! Highly recommend to stay here if you want to stay in the city center! I stayed here for one night and the service is immaculate. The staff are amazing and extremely helpful and friendly. Beautiful rooms and facilities. Had breakfast in the restaurant the next day and the food was delicious! Will definitely be back.

This is my favourite hotel I love everything about it the decor is fantastic its old and new mixed together, the staff are really friendly and couldn't do enough for you, the bar staff are great at making cocktails and are on the ball. The rooms are really big and very well presented you get great view of manchester if you are on a higher floor. The spa is amazing really chilled out which is nice being in the city Center and its really clean the staff there are fantastic. Couldn't fault a thing defiantly a place to stay.

It seemed more like a good 4 star hotel. Nice lobby, large and the decor was very contemporary. The room was a good size, and comfy, though not up to 5 star standard. There was a walk in closet area with a sink and mirror which led on to the bathroom (bath, wet area shower and toilet). It would have made more sense for the sink to be in the bathroom. 'Really enjoyed the Opus One bar. It was very contemporary, designed for a really relaxed, chilled out atmosphere. Cool lighting, very comfy seating and brilliant staff, this was more of a 5 star experience. The breakfast room was very busy and crowded. 'Had to wait a bit for some of the hot food to be replenished. Overall it wasn't a bad experience so I'll stay there again.

This is a beautiful hotel with lovely original features. It has a great history and has a lovely spa downstairs too. maybe a little 'freshening' up of the room furnishings wouldnt go a miss to give it a little extra then what other hotels have.

I stayed here earlier this year to celebrate my partner's birthday and it really was a treat. The hotel is a luxury hotel and apparently Sven Goran Ericsson was living in one of the apartments at the time! It has loads of facilities although we were only staying for one night so unfortunately didn't try out the spa, gym or pool. The room we had was large and the bed huge! There were robes and free luxury toiletries and it was great to relax with a glass of champagne in the tub! The breakfast we had was ample, with a good choice. Staff were helpful. The location is excellent for sight-seeing around Manchester. Highly recommended, though expensive.

We stayed here for 1 night as a treat and were very impressed. Reception was lovely, staff very helpful and polite but it was very relaxed. Everywhere clean and tidy, room was very nice with very nice furnishings. Perhaps could have done with some attention to the tiling grout in the bathrooms as it was yellow in places. This being our first stay in a 5 star Radisson we were very happy with our stay and would stay again.

Loved Alto the restaurant! You had 2 choices steak or lobster simples! so hours spent pondering the menu not needed! There were 5 of us and we had a great round table which meant no one was left out on a limb which often happens when you aren't an even number of diners. Waiting staff were efficient but didn't rush us and kept us well fed with unlimited fries and salad. I went for the grilled lobster which was fab. One of my friends went for the steak which came with a nice peppercorn sauce (optional extra) and was lovely and thick. At £17 i personally think its great value as when would you cook and eat a whole lobster at home?! Wouldn't recommend if you are a veggie -after all why got to a place who's main tag line is steak and lobster if you don't eat either!! I've eaten here several times and its always been a lovely experience. They also have a nice bar lounge area if you want to relax with a drink afterwards.

One of the few 5 star hotels in Manchester, its in the converted Free Trade Hall which has a great history, inc the famous Sex Pistols gig. The building is beautiful, and for me the highlight is the Opus Bar, which is the closest to a James Bond style bar I've found! If you sit up at the bar for drinks they'll treat you like royalty. The rooms are good, though maybe missing the extra touches you'd expect from a 5 star hotel. The Sienna Spa downstairs feels very luxurious, with a nice mid-size pool and great jacuzzi, along with a gym and all the treatments you could want. The staff were all helpful, though we never had any problems so didn;t encounter them too much - which is how it should be! I'd definitely recommend it as a place to stay, either for a weekend away or for a business traveller - both would feel comfortable here. Oh, and the location is really central, though Peter Street can get a bit rowdy on the weekends.

A wonderful establishment Would love to go again.

My partner and I stayed here whilst visiting the Manchester Christmas Markets and were very impressed! The staff were very friendly, they even moved us to a room with a city view for free!! Our room was lovely, very clean and comfortable. They also do a really nice afternoon tea!

Their Alto restaurant is probably the worst place I ve been to eat in manchester. They have the cheek to charge the same price for a cheap sweet potato burger that probably cost a pound to make as their lobster and steak. Definitely never going back.
