THE LOWRY HOTEL, MANCHESTER
With twinkling lights, mulled wine and vintage fairground rides, the Manchester Christmas Market is just the place to pick up some gifts and indulge in festive fun.
Last year it was even voted the most Instagramable Christmas market! The Lowry Hotel is not only one of the most prestigious, celebrity-loved, five-star hotels in the city, but is a mere five minute walk away. Set on the River Irwell, the glass-fronted building houses some impressive art (it is named after the iconic artist LS Lowry, after all). Guests can book a 'shop and stay' package at a discounted rate which includes a glass of prosecco on arrival as you check into the decked out winter wonderland, The Lowry Narnia.
The River Restaurant has a sensational à la carte menu - a taste of luxury with a reasonable price tag, with mains priced at around £20.
For those feeling extra bouji, the hotel has hooked up with DermAssure which enables in-room facial aesthetics for guests (yes, Botox in your hotel room!).
For a more seasonal atmosphere, hit Lightophia at Heaton Park, an immersive experience that brings lanterns, nutcrackers and more to life as you stroll.
Prices start at £139 per night, thelowryhotel.com
