Closest Hotels to Salford Quays:
Salford Quays is a joint tourism initiative between Salford City Council and Trafford Borough Council and is supported by The Lowry, Imperial War Museum North, Manchester United Football Club, Lancashire County Cricket Club, the Lowry Outlet Mall and the Copthorne Hotel which are private sector partners in the area. The Lowry is one of Manchester's most renowned centres for arts and performance and is the architectural flagship of the redeveloped Salford Quays waterside location. Incorporating two theatres, a range of galleries, as well as restaurants, bars and cafés, the Lowry's eyecatching architecture won it the 2001 building of the year award. The building takes its name from the celebrated painter LS Lowry (who died in 1976) and houses a permanent Lowry exhibition alongside displays of more contemporary artists. In line with regeneration projects throughout the city, Salford Quays has been built around the regenerated docklands and today is a vibrant hub of the city's arts, leisure and sports scenes.
