I recently stayed three nights at Whitworth Locke, the Manchester location of Locke Hotels, a aparthotel brand
Whitworth is a half mile from Manchester Piccadilly Station, in an old industrial structure repurposed and renovated as a hotel. For this stay I booked a Locke Studio, which could be described as their middle sized rooms, sitting between their City Studios and their One Bedroom Suites. It is ideally sized for a solo traveler or a couple. The room had a sleeping/bedroom area with an EU king-size bed and wardrobe/storage unit and then the sitting room/kitchenette space is just beyond. There is a large bathroom just off the sleeping area with a very spacious walk-in shower.
The sitting area includes a sofa, smart TV, small table and two chairs while The kitchenette has a clothes washer/dryer unit, dishwasher, refrigerator, combination microwave and two burner hob. The room is also equipped with pots, pans, cooking & eating utensils, knives & cutting boards, hot water kettle and coffee press. A plus if this location is the Tesco Express directly across the street.
I am a fan of the Locke brand and their aparthotels. They make a great little home away from home where I can head out for the day and enjoy the sites, then get “home”, kick off my shoes, cook supper and relax & chill.
