Many people feel as though they have Liverpool pinned down. Cheeky musicians with funny haircuts and funnier accents, passionate football fans, even the image of a run-down city pervades. But the city centre is rejuvenated, the cheekiness is the same as it always was and so too is the passion. Liverpool is a great city and a diverse one too.
There are some excellent high quality hotels to be found in Liverpool. Luxury options often come with far fewer caveats and that means less time worrying about your stay and more time making the most of it. Price, location and the room facilities were all taken on board when we researched this list, as well as the atmosphere and previous guest reactions to their own recent stays.
Hard Day’s Night Hotel
Privates from £91/ night
You may have guessed that this hotel has a rather strong Beatles theme, and you would have guessed right. Hard Day’s Night is a luxury Beatles-themed hotel located right in the city centre. The location for Beatles fans could not be better; the famous Cavern Club is right next door. Inside the hotel the rooms are tastefully decorated with subtle touches of Beatles inspiration. The hotel offers a good fitness centre, room service and a bar. Pets are also allowed here on request. You might have to work like a dog, but at least you can sleep like a log.
Pullman Liverpool
Privates from £180/ night
The Pullman’s simple, stylish décor is classy without the ostentation. Subtle blends of charcoal and white lend the hotel a quiet sense of luxury, while the list of amenities on offer does the rest of the work. The bar, restaurant, fitness centre and bicycle rental onsite offer plenty of options on which to spend your time. If you’d prefer to kick back in your room the 55 inch flatscreen TV, rain shower and complimentary Co. Bigalow toiletries usually do the trick. Free wifi is also provided throughout.
The Shankly Hotel
Privates from £145/ night
Named after Bill, the great football player and manager, a stay at the Shankly is a stay in a hotel that offers plenty of modern innovation against a backdrop of stylish luxury. Rooms not only have a flatscreen TV and free wifi, but an excellent Bluetooth music sound system. While all rooms are ensuite, some of the rooms also have their own spa bath. The hotel also has a bar and with room service, champagne can be ordered to your room for an additional fee. Breakfast is very well reviewed by previous guests, but is only included in some of the room tariffs.
Hotel Indigo
Privates from £81/ night
Colour is a big feature of the Hotel Indigo. The motif provides a friendly, inviting environment without losing any sense of class. Additionally, there are plenty of neat, innovative touches to the décor, such as the reception area’s snare and tom-drum lampshades, which feels especially appropriate in a music-driven city like Liverpool. Rooms have a complimentary snack bar, rainfall shower and luxury toiletries are provided, along with a hairdryer, safe, kettle and minibar.
Hotel Aloft
Privates from £80/ night
The excellent value for money at Hotel Aloft is complemented by the good proximity to Moorfields train station. There is also free wifi, a fitness centre and a bar and à la carte restaurant. For all of that, there is no compromise on the comfort and luxury of the rooms, which offer plenty of great facilities, including a walk-in shower, flatscreen TV, free toiletries and a refrigerator. Many of the room tariffs here do not include breakfast, although it can be purchased for an additional fee.
