Hotel Details

Location

Set in the heart of Liverpool, the hotel is a 10-minute walk from the city centre and within easy reach of the Albert Dock, ferry terminals, and nightlife.
Liverpool city centre is a 10-minute walk away, while the Echo Arena is 5 minutes by car. The property sits near the waterfront, making the ferry terminals and Albert Dock convenient for sightseeing and event visitors. Numerous restaurants, including Ziba, El Gato Negro Tapas, and Marco Pierre White Steakhouse, are within 0.5 km. Public transport access is good, and the immediate neighbourhood is quiet enough for rest despite the central location. No on-site parking exists, but paid public car parks on Rumford Street and Fazakerley Street are a short walk away. The area feels safe for late returns, though guests needing to re-enter after 11pm should plan ahead.

Dining

Breakfast is no longer served at the hotel, but the bar offers drinks and a coffee shop is on site.
Breakfast is not available at the property. However, the on-site bar serves wine, champagne, and reasonably priced drinks, including pints around £4 and spirits from £5. A coffee shop operates within the hotel, and several nearby cafés and restaurants - including Esquires Coffee Liverpool and Ziba at Racquet Club - are within a two-minute walk for morning meals or evening dining. The bar may close to residents during private functions, but staff can arrange drinks to be taken to the room. Room tea and coffee making facilities are provided.

Leisure

Two squash courts are available for an additional charge; no spa, pool, or gym is on site.
The hotel features two squash courts available for an additional fee, offering an active leisure option. There is no swimming pool, spa, or fitness centre on the premises. The historic building itself - a former private members club - provides a characterful setting, and the public spaces are available for private functions or a relaxed drink at the bar. For other wellness needs, guests can explore the nearby waterfront or city-centre attractions within a short walk.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book a quiet room when reserving to minimize noise from internal events and street-facing rooms.

  • 02

    Arrive with a fully charged mobile phone for after-hours entry; the main door is locked from 11pm.

  • 03

    Plan breakfast elsewhere; the property no longer serves morning meals but can recommend nearby cafés.

  • 04

    Choose a room with a private bathroom and roll-top bath if a relaxing soak is part of your stay.
