Honestly the best boutique hotel experience we’ve ever had. The US needs to take some pointers from Locke. We’ll be staying with them in other cities for sure. Kieren and the other hosts were super helpful. The place was immaculate and the coffee and food on premise were world class.

Everything about the whitworth was amazing. It’s central to local transport, restaurants and cafes, and a bunch of sights (if you’re looking for things to do). They helped me get my luggage after it was delayed by the airport. Super clean, wonderful staff and restaurant, and they even secured our bags during the day until our next evening flight. Will be my go to when I travel to Manchester.
