Independent boutique hotel in a converted 1860s carriage warehouse on Hope Street, between the two cathedrals and beside the Philharmonic Hall.
Hope Street Hotel is an independent four-star boutique property at 40 Hope Street in Liverpool's Georgian Quarter, England. The street takes its name from the route that links the city's two cathedrals, the Anglican Cathedral at one end and the Metropolitan Cathedral at the other, and the hotel sits roughly midway between them, directly beside the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Lime Street Station and the main shopping district around Liverpool ONE are both reachable on foot in about fifteen minutes, and the Albert Dock waterfront lies a little further beyond. The building is a converted 1860s carriage warehouse, and the industrial heritage shows in exposed brick, high ceilings and large windows that give the interiors a loft-like character rather than a standard chain look. Rooms range from double rooms to superior doubles and suites, and the listed amenities include free wifi, air conditioning and room service, which suits guests arriving late after concerts at the neighbouring Philharmonic. The hotel is known for its restaurant, which occupies part of the original carriage works and serves modern British cooking for dinner as well as breakfast; a bar on site covers pre-theatre and after-concert drinks. Hope Street is also the cultural spine of the Georgian Quarter, with the Everyman Theatre, the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts and the Philharmonic Dining Rooms pub all within a few minutes' walk, so the location appeals to theatre-goers and visitors who prefer a quieter, more residential part of the city than the Mathew Street nightlife zone. Service is personal and understated, aimed at leisure couples, weekend visitors and business guests who want a distinctive hotel rather than a large corporate one. The setting also puts Georgian terraces, the University of Liverpool campus and the Chinatown arch within easy reach. Seasonal pricing in the low season generally runs from about GBP 130 to 190 per night and rises in the high season, with the highest demand around concert dates, graduations and summer weekends.
| Price | GBP 130-190 (~$174-255) per night – GBP 160-260 (~$214-348) per night |
