Fashionistas oasis in UK

Rocco Forte’s The Lowry Hotel has exclusively partnered with style queen Brix Smith Start, the brains behind East London’s fashion emporium Start, to create the ultimate shopping guide for guests from Bahrain visiting the English city of Manchester this season.

The shopping guide offers Brix’s insider knowledge into Manchester’s go-to shopping addresses every self-respecting fashionista should have on their radar, with a preview into the hottest fashion trends this season.

From high-end department stores such as Harvey Nichols and Flannels to a myriad of quirky shops and boutiques, the comprehensive guide is inspired by Brix’s personal taste.

Moreover, the guide also includes access to VIP offers such as goody bags and gifts, personal shopping, specially negotiated discounts at several shops featured – and complimentary bubbly!

“Manchester is constantly evolving,” said Brix. “Boasting world-renowned designers such as Matthew Williamson, Henry Holland and Sara Burton – designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress at Alexander McQueen, this cosmopolitan city features high on my list as one of the most fashionable and vibrant places to shop in the UK. 

“A Manchester staple, it’s a pleasure to partner with The Lowry Hotel – it truly is the ideal base for a spot of retail indulgence, and I look forward  to reaching out to the Middle East audience with a tailor-made guide on how to find the best-of in this fabulous city.”

Thanks to its location, one of the city’s most fashionable hotels, the Lowry Hotel, boasts easy access to central Manchester, as well as the main shopping and commercial districts. Moreover, after a day of exploring the city’s shopping quarters, guests can relax at the hotel’s River Bar with a special ‘Fashionistas’ cocktail for a much-needed break!
