The Best Boutique Hotels To Book In Liverpool UK

Liverpool is home to a vast array of hotels to suit all occasions, but sometimes you want something a little more special than a Travelodge. Here are some of the best boutique hotels in the city, from quaint, cottage-style hotels to presidential rooms with private Jacuzzis.

This hotel’s rooms are all decorated in an individual style, with Quarters rooms housing a Jacuzzi, and the presidential suite boasting a 15-foot bed, spa pool and breathtaking views of the Strand, Three Graces and Dockside. 30 James Street also has a highly rated restaurant and caters for weddings.

2. The Richmond

The Richmond offers 52 apartments, so it’s definitely one of the larger boutique hotels in Liverpool. This elegant establishment is based upon three colours – representing style, relaxation and vibrancy – complementing the hotel’s work, rest and play ethos. Each room here is individually designed, so you’re sure to enjoy the quirkiness of this former Merseytravel Headquarters, whichever type of room you decide to go for. The Richmond also has an unbeatable brasserie.

Celebrating the life of Liverpool’s greatest manager, Bill Shankly, the hotel boasts comfortable and stylish accommodation in its range of rooms, which show off Jacuzzi baths and giant televisions.

6. Titanic Hotel

This warehouse-turned-hotel may be a short taxi ride from the city centre, but its distinctive aesthetic and capacious rooms make that £6 worth every penny. It sits in Stanley Dock – a once-bustling shipping hub that’s now undergoing a multimillion pound refurb, in which Titanic Hotel is playing a crucial role. Inside, the rooms reflect the industrial look of the hotel’s surroundings, with exposed brick, vaulted ceilings and urban-chic furniture for resting tired limbs. And while the Titanic never actually docked in Liverpool, nods to the ill-fated liner can be spotted throughout.
