is a selection of some of the best.
Hope Street Hotel
Hope Street is a bit of a cultural hub – this elegant Georgian
thoroughfare joins the city’s two cathedrals and along it’s length
you’ll find a concert hall (the Philharmonic), a theatre (the
Everyman) and a slew of bars and eateries. The hotel sits half way
along it, a building dating from the 1860’s that was converted into
‘Liverpool’s first boutique hotel’ in 2001. In the intervening time
it has won numerous awards for its cool minimalist chic, impeccable
service and classy ambience and was voted one of the 50 coolest
hotels in the world in 2006 by Condé Nast Traveller.
Hard Day’s Night Hotel
Central Buildings, 41 North John Street, L2 6RR
T: 0151 236 1964
No prizes for guessing the inspiration behind this new four-star
hotel just along the way from the Cavern Club. A refurb of a
classic city centre Grade II-listed building, the hotel has an
on-site restaurant, bar and art gallery, all featuring specially
commissioned artworks celebrating the lives of the Fab Four.
There’s even an all-white Lennon Suite complete with white piano if
you fancy a weekend bed-in.

Malmaison Liverpool
7 William Jessop Way, Princes Dock L3 1QZ
T: 0845 365 4247
Overlooking the Mersey, this recently-opened new kid in the
Malmaison stable is the company’s first purpose-built building.
It’s an elegant addition to the city’s iconic waterfront
architecture and has all the features you would expect, from the
plush ambience of the interior and the ‘place to be seen in’ bar
and brasserie.

Radisson SAS Liverpool
107 Old Hall St L3 9BD
T: 0151 966 1500
The Scandinavian-owned Radisson SAS is
a new modern ocean liner of a building looking out over the Mersey.
It’s very Scandinavian in feel as well – all cool design on the
inside and a light-filled atrium that doubles as a bit of an art
gallery.

62 Castle Street
62 Castle St L2 7LQ
T: 0151 702 7898
Another revamped Victorian edifice in the heart of Liverpool’s city
centre, this bijou boutique hotel is well-located for both the
business district and the famous Liverpool nightlife. Its 20

ground floor houses a Room restaurant and bar.

Raquet Club
Hargreaves Building, 5 Chapel Street L3 9AG
T: 0151 236 6676
A club devoted to racquet sports may not be the first place that
springs to mind as a place to stay, but the eight
individually-styled rooms in this refurbished Victorian warehouse
are generous and comfortable. The on-site Ziba restaurant is also
an eating destination in its own right.
