Bright, light and super-chic, the Hope Street is all exposed brickwork, polished wood floors and clean white walls – something of an oasis from the busy streets outside the door.
Rooms are unfussily luxurious; crisp Egyptian cotton on king-size beds and large picture windows that make the most of the hotel’s central location, with great views across the city skyline.
The London Carriage Works, the hotel’s restaurant, has two AA Rosettes and holds an AA Notable Wine award. Everything on the menu is sourced within a 25-mile radius of the hotel.
Hope Street is the perfect location to discover all that Liverpool has to offer.
It’s an easy walk to both the magnificent cathedrals, a five-minute stroll to the shops and an easy stroll to the Everyman Theatre and the Philharmonic Hall.
It’s a busy area, day and night though, which makes the cool, clean lines of the hotel all the more welcoming.
