Once a bustling brewery and later a jam factory, The Ainscow Hotel has been reimagined into a contemporary boutique destination that nods to its Victorian heritage. Located in the rapidly transforming centre of Salford, it’s perfectly positioned just a short walk from Spinningfields’ vibrant restaurants and bars. Its setting, surrounded by the hum of city life and gritty urban views, is all part of its charm—where history and regeneration collide.

Step inside, and the building’s history comes alive through carefully restored features like exposed brick walls, timbered ceilings, and steel beams. Original elements are balanced with contemporary design across the 70 unique rooms and suites. Whether you opt for a cosy double or a spacious executive king, expect thoughtful touches like bespoke furniture crafted by local makers and interiors that seamlessly blend warmth and modern style. Many rooms include kitchenettes, offering flexibility for longer stays.

On the third floor, The Lynwood Restaurant and bar make the most of their elevated position, with a terrace that’s perfect for catching the sun over dinner or drinks. A 24-hour lobby bar and in-room dining options ensure that a quick bite or late-night snack is always within reach.

The hotel’s basement hosts a “dry spa” that offers a distinctive wellness experience, including cryotherapy treatments and a range of massages and facials. A fitness studio with regular classes like yoga adds to the health-focused amenities, while on-site parking and easy access to Salford Central station make The Ainscow a practical yet characterful choice.
