Red light district-turned-hipster ‘hood, the Baltic Triangle is the place to head in search of street art and vintage markets, indie coffee shops and gin gardens. You can go clubbing at Camp and Furnace, do street food at Baltic Market and work your way round craft breweries such as Love Lane and Black Lodge. Box-fresh hotel the Baltic, set in a warehouse conversion, typifies the area’s alternative edge with turntables, in-room tablets and fully stocked fridges in the industrial-style rooms, as well as the downstairs Duck & Swagger pub and Brasserie restaurant.
2. Lock & Key
Budget Hotel

Before this popular boutique hotel opened its 14 desirable, retro-glam bedrooms, its bar/restaurant was already a favourite hangout for locals. Against an attractive backdrop of exposed brick walls, parquet flooring and richly coloured velvets, the kitchen kicks off the day with a wonderfully comprehensive brunch menu then switches to pizzas and pasta mid-afternoon; while the bar serves up cocktails, wine and craft ales, including beers from Love Lane Brewery, a 15-minute walk away.
3. The Resident Liverpool
Suite Hotel
