The Lowry Hotel Launches its Own Bollinger Bar

MANCHESTER’S PREMIER HOTEL OPENS ITS BOLLINGER BAR

The Lowry Hotel, part of the Rocco Forte Collection, is launching Manchester’s only Bollinger Bar on 7 February.

The hotel, in association with Bollinger, is delighted to open such a prestigious bar in Manchester’s most talked about establishment. With this new addition, the River Bar is set to be the ultimate venue for drinking Champagne whether its after work drinks or a special celebration.

The Bollinger Bar is totally in keeping with the River Bar’s already sterling reputation as a venue that is ideal for meeting friends for afternoon tea or evening cocktails, as the perfect precursor to a special meal out at the River Bar.

Champagne Bollinger is one of the greatest Champagne houses, committed to creating distinctive Champagnes of the finest quality, making them an ideal partner for the River Bar. Champagne Bollinger remains under the direct control of the family, as it has done since Bollinger’s foundation in 1829.

The Lowry Hotel will offer a range of Bollinger Champagnes including Special Cuvée, La Grand Année 1997 and R.D 1995.

Jason Harding, General Manager at The Lowry Hotel said, “It is a fantastic honour to be working with a luxury brand such as Bollinger and we are excited about the contribution that the brand will make. The River Bar and Restaurant are already very popular locations for sophisticated evenings out, and we hope to continue to exceed customer expectations.”

The Bollinger Bar, opening 7th February 2008, will host an invitation only launch party in conjunction with Bollinger.
