5. The Resident, Liverpool

Amid the atmospheric old buildings of the RopeWalks district, this hotel fits in well, with its red-brick warehouse exterior.

At the modern spa, ice baths and herbal saunas are among the offerings.

7. 30 James Street

Boutique Hotel

One of Liverpool’s most popular boutique hotels, this stylish property sits in a gorgeous building from the city’s Victorian heyday. The rooms have been updated since then, with mod cons including whirlpool bathtubs, but they retain a feel of vintage glamour, designed to resemble luxury cabins on a historic cruise liner. A similar vibe pervades the Carpathia Restaurant, where a traditional menu includes dishes like ox cheek and beef dripping sandwich.

The Best Western Signature Collection of hotels can always be relied on for comfort, style and a warm welcome, and this property in a Georgian building in the centre of Liverpool is no exception.
