Occupying what was the Free Trade Hall, the Radisson Edwardian is one of Manchesters best placed hotels.
It's centrally located, close to G-Mex, Deansgate and the Town Hall. The hotel itself is modern inside, with comfortable, contemporary design rooms.
The bedrooms are comfortable, with all the refinements you need including flat screen television, decent showers and beds.
The Lowry probably has the edge over it in terms of service, however I wouldn't let that stop you from staying here. I've stayed here many times and also recommended it to international visitors, no-ones been disappointed.
Only major drawback is the parking, that is, the hotel doesn't have any. You'll have to park at the nearby G-mex and then walk to the hotel, which is fine, unless its raining. If you ring ahead, the concierge will park your car for you. However, there can be a wait during busy times.
Overall summary, good value for money, comfortable and well located.
Dinner Recommendations - Gaucho Grill, Bar and Grill, The Grill on the Alley, Numero at Manchester235 Casino which are all within walking distance.
