Accommodation for visitors in Liverpool



A historic port, a city with two cathedrals and a 20th century musical heritage unsurpassed by any other UK city are some of the attractions that require Liverpool to have a range of accommodation options suitable for its many thousands of visitors. In 2008 Liverpool becomes a European City of Culture, which will undoubtedly mean new accommodation will be built and many existing hotels will be re-furbishing ready for 2008.

To stay there you’ll need to be a member of the YHA.

There are plenty of mid-range hotels to choose from in Liverpool, both independent ones and those belonging to the larger chains such as Travel Inn at £60 a night and The Holiday Inn at £70 a night for a double room. The Aachen Hotel on Mount Pleasant is in the centre of the city and is a popular place to stay for those wanting something different from the hotel chains. The hotel is well known for its excellent value for money and friendly staff. It has 17 rooms with varying tariffs from £32.50 a night for a single room to £112 for a four-bed family room. Not all the rooms have en suite, but a double room with en suite is around £60 a night - all prices include breakfast. The Marriott on Queen Street is an example of a four star chain hotel in the city centre. Room prices range from £100 to over £200 depending on the type of room and time of year that you are booking.

Located on Old Hall Street the price for a double room starts at £140 a night and can rise to £800 for a suite. However, being a major chain of hotels there are always deals and special offers available.

Liverpool has a surprisingly good selection of up market independent hotels.

At £130 a night for a standard double room, or £150 for an Executive double room, the hotels offer accommodation to the very highest standards. Both hotels have bars and restaurants offering everything from snacks to four course dinners.

This privately owned hotel was originally built as a warehouse in the 1860s, following extensive refurbishment when converted into a hotel the building does now have the look of a Venetian palazzo, when viewed in the sun The rooms are furnished to the very highest standards and the restaurant – The London Carriage Works – is one of the best places to eat in Liverpool. Room prices range from £140 a night for a standard double room to £350 for a suite with a double bed.
