Welcome in the Year of The Rooster
The five star Lowry Hotel prepares to welcome in Chinese New Year with its own exciting festivities, as Saturday the 28th January 2017 marks the beginning of the year of the rooster.
Lanterns will welcome in guests, as the hotel kicks off the Chinese New Year celebration with traditional decorations and festive flower arrangements, transforming the lobby and public spaces.
In addition to the adorning decorations, The River Bar carries on the celebration with Chinese New Year inspired cocktails. Guests can enjoy views of the River Irwell whilst indulging an appropriately named Rooster’s Tale; a mixture of rum, lychee, berries and lime topped with soda water, or a Sweet and Sour Whisky, which combines sweet and sour spice mix and Maker’s Mark whisky.
General Manager, Adrian Ellis, said: “Chinese New Year always brings excitement to the city of Manchester and even more so this year, with the new Hainan Airlines flight direct from Manchester to Beijing having been launched.’
“The Lowry Hotel is excited to be part of the ever-growing relationship between Manchester and China, and what better way to celebrate that than welcoming in the Chinese New Year?”.
To book into the restaurant this weekend and join in the festivities, please call +44 (0) 161 827 4000 or email the hotel on [email protected].
