LONDON—DoubleTree by Hilton has opened its first hotel and spa in Liverpool, England, which is housed in the Municipal Annex building, a restored Grade II listed building in the heart of the city. Hilton Worldwide has more than 25 locations across the U.K.
Steeped in history, the property has been given a contemporary finish while retaining the original construction, which dates back to 1865. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool offers 87 guestrooms and suites, against a backdrop of sweeping staircases, Italian mosaic floors and original Corinthian columns.
The hotel opening marks the arrival of the second eforea spa in the U.K., with a menu of treatments, six treatment rooms, hydrotherapy pool, sauna, steam room and 24-hour fitness suite.
In addition, the hotel features Michelin-starred Jean-Christophe Novelli’s only U.K. restaurant. The 130-seat restaurant offers a French brasserie-style menu, and will also serve the lounge, conference rooms and banqueting areas at the hotel.
“The hotel is truly unique in that it combines 19th century splendor with the contemporary vibrancy of a 21st century hotel. Our superb location, just a short walk from the historic docks and the lively Cavern Quarter, plus our extensive range of accommodation, spa and dining facilities make DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool the number one choice for travelers,” said Terence Southward, GM, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool.
All guestrooms offer a king- or queen-size bed, fridge, secure safe and a 37-in. LCD television. Six suites offer a separate living area with an additional LCD television, pull-out sofa and complimentary minibar, as well as a separate bathtub and walk-in rain shower. The Presidential Suite has a walk-in wardrobe and original 19th century architectural features. The bathroom also features a wet room with double steam shower, heated seating, large roll-top bath and twin basins.
The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool is the latest milestone in the brand’s trajectory, alongside the recently opened DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London – Docklands Riverside and DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Nottingham – Gateway.
