This shortlist gathers the 4-star hotels in Liverpool, from aparthotels with full kitchens to waterfront addresses beside the docks. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want a known standard of comfort within reach of the city centre.
Staying in Liverpool
Liverpool is a maritime city whose Beatle heritage, two Premier League football clubs, free museums and waterfront landmarks sit alongside shopping at Liverpool ONE and nightlife running from the historic pubs of the Ropewalks to the bars of the Cavern Quarter. The Royal Albert Dock and the Three Graces are its best-known sights, and most of the centre is compact enough to cover on foot.
The hotels on this list cluster in the City Centre and along the waterfront. 44 Renshaw Apart Hotel, The Resident Liverpool, The Halyard Liverpool Vignette Collection, Lock and Key Boutique Hotel, School Lane Hotel in Liverpool ONE, Hope Street Hotel and Aparthotel Adagio Liverpool City Centre all sit within about 0.8 km of the centre, while Crowne Plaza, Pullman, INNSiDE by Meliá and Staybridge Suites sit by Kings Dock and the docks. Titanic Hotel occupies Stanley Dock, The Arc Hotel stands on Anfield Road and Novotel sits at Paddington Village. Aparthotels with kitchens suit longer stays and families, riverside hotels with spas and pools suit couples, and the central addresses suit short breaks and business trips.
