The Radisson Edwardian Manchester Hotel can be found at the very heart of one of Britain's most vibrant and dynamic cities. A new hotel set in the Free Trade Hall, one of Manchester’s most historically important buildings, the Radisson Edwardian combines five star luxury with a superb location and a real sense of history.

The Free Trade Hall was built between 1853-1856 on a site close to the scene of the Peterloo Massacre of 1819. Its name commemorates the movement upon which Manchester's wealth was built, made possible by the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846, making it one of the few in the world to be named after a political and economic movement. Nikolaus Pevsner described The Free Trade Hall as ‘perhaps the noblest monument in the Cinquecento style in England.’ As such a major centre for engineering and manufacturing, Manchester was heavily bombed during the Second World War and The Free Trade Hall suffered significant damage. It re-opened in 1951 with a newly reconstructed interior and was celebrated as the home of the world-famous Hallé Orchestra, and over the following decades became a legendary venue not only for classical music, but also for contemporary rock and pop. Bob Dylan famously performed one of his first ‘electric’ gigs at the Free Trade Hall in 1966, and the venue established itself as a truly great rock venue throughout the 1970s. In 1976 the venue hosted The Sex Pistols’ first ever gig outside of London, in front of an audience containing members of the soon to be famous Joy Division, The Fall, The Buzzcocks and the Smiths, bands who subsequently made Manchester the second city of punk, and resulting in an explosion of independent record companies and the reputation for musical innovation that continues to this day.

The Radisson Edwardian Hotels group have successfully renovated this historic building and transformed it into a stunning luxury hotel, whilst retaining all of the character and soul of the original building. The G-Mex and MICC centres are both directly opposite the hotel, and it is convenient for access to the rail and motorway networks, Manchester International Airport and the city’s famous shopping, entertainment and nightlife areas.
