“Whitworth Locke feels like a well-designed home away from home, not just a hotel-it's got that rare blend of boutique charm and practical apartment living. I appreciate the thought given to both short and longer stays, right down to the well-equipped kitchens. Its location near Manchester Piccadilly Station places you perfectly for city explorations, but you might just find yourself lingering in the stylish common spaces.”
