The Lowry Hotel is The Business
Having scooped two prestigious awards within the past month, The Lowry Hotel is officially the best business hotel outside London.
In addition to being crowned the UK's leading business hotel outside the capital in the annual Conde Nast Traveller Reader Awards, The Lowry Hotel has also been voted one of the best business hotels in the World by travel bible Forbes Magazine.
Forbes has issued its first-ever ForbesTraveler 400 list. The compendium of the world's best hotels and resorts was selected by a panel of more than 80 travel experts who are unaffiliated with hotels, including prominent tour operators, editors and writers, travel industry executives, CEOs and travel agents.
Judging criteria included service, room & bathroom, décor, food and beverage, public areas and facilities, sports & recreation and location and each property chosen was visited by a member of the panel anonymously.
This fantastic commendation along with the Conde Nast award earlier this month goes to show that the hotel is striding ahead when it comes to travel facilities, value for money and overall service.
The Lowry Hotel was ranked sixth in a satisfaction survey of the ten best business hotels in the UK by Conde Nast Traveller's readers - the highest placed outside the capital and the only hotel in the North West to make the top ten.
John Philipson, General Manager of The Lowry Hotel, comments: "These two fantastic accolades for The Lowry Hotel are an incredible achievement. It is a great honour to be ranked alongside the best hotels in the world and to be voted for by Forbes, the magazine read by the Worlds business leaders, is a real credit to the hard work and dedication of the team here at the hotel.
