Liverpool
Where To Stay

add to Travel Bag (NEW)  

A vibrant and visually stunning city, Liverpool offers an extensive choice of places to stay. Accommodation within the city center and around the waterfront at Albert Dock will suit all budgets. Clusters of hotels, guest houses and B&B's in the suburbs of the city can provide a quieter stay, but are equally accessible to the train station, airport and motorway links.

Albert Dock is the ideal location for business travelers and those wishing to view the many attractions. Situated close to the 19th century warehouse buildings and delightful waterfront are a selection of luxury hotels. The recently built, stylish and elegant Crowne Plaza, complete with full leisure and business facilities would provide an excellent break, as would the more traditional Thistle Atlantic Hotel. If you're looking for something a little less extravagant, the Campanile or the Dolby Hotel in the same area provide excellent value for money. If you are looking for a comfortable base to see the sights or just a quick stopover, The Holiday Inn Express within the Dock complex would be an ideal choice. Across the road, a brand new Ibis Hotel has just opened and offers a great service at a very attractive price.

Moving into the heart of the central shopping area, the atmosphere is lively, busy and exciting. A good range of hotels are available from the infamous and opulent. The Marriott City Center is a modern and spacious new addition to the city and is conveniently based close to the Tourist Information Center. Around the same area, the recently transformed Holiday Inn offers quality accommodation and up to date facilities.

For the visitor who really wants to let his hair down and experience the great nightlife the city has to offer, try Henry's Café Bar; a part of the Premier Lodge chain, it offers good value for the money and is set in a prime position. The Moat House, popular with football celebrities, is a luxury hotel with superb beauty and fitness facilities. The Gladstone Hotel, part of the Forte group, is near to the main train station and offers a modern and comfortable setting.

Heading out of the city center, but still within a short walking distance of the main train and bus stations, the smaller hotels Antrim and Aachen will provide a warm and friendly welcome.

If you are visiting the city on a budget, there are some excellent options including John Moores University and Hope University, who both rent out campus accommodation during the Easter and summer vacations. Various locations are available within the city center and the suburbs. An International Youth Hostel and Embassie Independent Hostel are situated in the city center.

Three miles away, the Sefton Park and Lark Lane districts encompass a range of good quality accommodation. The Solna and the Alicia are part of the well-established Feathers chain and both provide excellent facilities. Other alternatives include the The Blenheim and Holme Leigh Guesthouse, both of which overlook the park and provide easy access to the M62, city centre and Airport.

Visitors wanting to stay near the airport have several alternatives. Grange Hotel and Restaurant, just 10 minutes from the airport, is surrounded by beautiful gardens and is located in a quiet residential area. A homely alternative can be found at the Somersby Guest house, and the surrounding neighborhood offers many excellent bars and restaurants. Penny Lane, made famous by the Beatles can be found a short walk from here. The luxurious Liverpool Marriott South is due to open shortly.

If you looking for something a little bit special and away from the buzz of city life, there is a secret hideaway. Situated in beautiful grounds, the luxurious Woolton Redbourne Hotel is an excellent family run hotel set in a large mansion house; crammed full of antiques and exceptional style, it also appears to be popular with celebrities. Definitely not an ordinary hotel, but then again, this is not an ordinary city.
