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.

1. 30 James Street

Set in the beautiful building that the infamous Titanic was registered to, this hotel is rich with history. The building – built from white Portland stone and red brick – has been standing in the city since 1896 and has recently been renovated into a hotel commemorating the ill-fated ship. 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.

3. Hope Street

Hope Street is a stunning boutique hotel in the heart of the city’s popular Georgian Quarter. This popular independent hotel is quaint and full of character, with solid wooden floors and beams. With suites and king rooms, penthouses and studio accommodation, there really is a place for everyone here. It’s dog-friendly too, so don’t forget the pooch!

4. The Resident Liverpool

Looking for a boutique hotel in a bustling district of bars and restaurants? Look no further than the Resident Liverpool. Situated on the popular Seel Street, this hotel offers contemporary rooms in the middle of the metropolis that is Liverpool city centre. The building – dating back to the 1850s, when it was an iron foundry – lay derelict from 1970 until 2008, and now offers a range of rooms, from small doubles through to the Secret Garden Suite, set over two floors.

5. The Shankly Hotel

One for the Liverpool fans, the Shankly Hotel is a unique boutique hotel just a stone’s throw from St George’s Hall. 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. Don’t forget to check out the new rooftop bar, the Garden of Eden.

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.
