LIVERPOOL
HOTELS UPDATE – January 2018
Welcome
Welcome to the latest edition of the
Liverpool Hotels Update.
Since 2004, this document has been
published jointly between Liverpool City
Council and the Local Enterprise Partnership.
It contains detailed information about the
range and location of hotels which have
been completed, are currently under
construction, or are in the pipeline both
within the City Centre and outside it. It also
looks at hotel performance in the City
Centre.
We hope that the data included in the
schedules will be useful to individuals and
organisations involved in hotel provision.
Should you have any queries, require further
information, or have comments on the
content of the schedules, please contact:

Foreword 2017 has been another outstanding year for Liverpool’s hotel sector.
Yet again, despite more hotel rooms and serviced apartments
opening here, occupancy levels have continued to rise. Weekend
occupancy figures in eight out the first 11 months of the year were
above an average 90%, some 4% higher than were being achieved
in 2008 when we had less hotels than we do today. What is also
significant is that room revenues have also risen by just over 10% this
year, peaking at £106.64 in April, our traditionally highest scoring
month.
As always, culture is one of the key elements that we support in
order to bring visitors into the city. We have continued the legacy
of being a major Cultural City with yet another outstanding list of
events having been held in 2017 – and that will continue into 2018
as we celebrate ten years since Liverpool was Europe’s Capital of
Culture.
Exciting projects for 2018 have been announced including China’s
First Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors – coming to the UK for the
first time in a generation; the Three Festivals Tall Ships Regatta linking
Liverpool, Dublin and Bordeaux; the finale of the Clipper Around the
World Yacht Race; Tate Liverpool’s 30th anniversary; Liverpool
Biennial’s 10th edition presenting leading visual artists from across
the world; and Rewire – a major new art and technology
commission led by FACT with Invisible Flock, working with artists from
across the globe and communities in Toxteth and Dingle.
Alongside these, Liverpool 2018 will also showcase premieres across
the worlds of entertainment and sport, new major public artworks,
some extraordinary one-off music moments and four artistic seasons
each bursting with new commissions exploring China Dream –
showcasing the best of modern Chinese culture; The Future World of
Work; the Art of Football ; and Nineteen Eighteen – the centenary of
the end of the First World War.
The city’s unrivalled festival offer – from Africa Oye and Liverpool
International Music Festival right through to Milapfest – will mark the
year with some of their most ambitious line ups ever, while brand
new music events – including a piano festival like no other – will
reinforce Liverpool’s position as a UNESCO City of Music. To find out
more about our cultural programme for this year, please visit
www.visitliverpool.com/2018.
Our reputation for providing such a wealth of attractions – boosted
by our 2018 cultural programme – has led to Liverpool being named
one of the top holiday destinations in the world during 2018 by The
Guardian newspaper. This can only be good news for our hospitality
sector.
Please enjoy reading about what has been achieved in 2017, and
about our plans and aspirations for the year ahead.

Tourism and Events

LIVERPOOL HOTEL PROFITS CONTINUE UPWARD TREND
2017 has been another year that has
seen hotel room profits rise to new highs.
Whilst average profits per room rose by
4.9%, weekend averages rose from
£81.93 to £90.41, a rise of 10.3%. October
2017 saw the highest ever weekend
average room profit (RevPar) peak at
£104.63, the first time it has ever broken
through the £100 ceiling. Such rises
continue to bring confidence to the
city’s ever-growing hotel sector.
The number of hotel rooms sold in 2017 has seen the 8th
successive annual rise, with the end total by December
expected to be over 2 million, exceeding 2016’s 1.98
million. Half of the months of the year so far have seen
totals higher than previous years, with the highest being
July 2017 hitting 184,916 – a new monthly record for the
city.
These rises come – yet again – at a time when the City
Centre’s hotel room stock has risen by a further 110 with
the opening of two new hotels this year: the 77 bedroom
budget EasyHotel on Castle Street, and 16 boutique
bedrooms in the Lock & Key Hotel at 17 Duke Street; whilst
the Feathers Hotel on Mount Pleasant extended into an
adjoining building to add 17 rooms to its existing stock of
64 and was renamed the Hallmark Inn.
This is also seen against a backdrop of rising numbers of
serviced apartments appearing across the City Centre,
with some 148 completed during 2017.
It would seem that the more rooms are built, they and the
existing hotels continue to be filled with visitors. October
2017 saw the highest ever monthly average weekend
occupancy peak at 94.4%, whilst weekday average
occupancy figures have also risen, with July 2017 peaking
at 87.1%.

Current Investments
As a city, Liverpool is growing rapidly.
2017 has again seen over £1billion
worth of development activity across
all sectors, matching that seen in 2015
and 2016. With that investment has
come new businesses, new
opportunities, new jobs, and new and
improved cultural facilities which draw
in visitors. This investment boom is
being matched by the hotel industry
which continues to expand and
diversify to meet visitors’ needs.
Construction is continuing at the £39 million Lime Street
Gateway development, a joint development between
Neptune and Liverpool City Council. The scheme will
include a 101 bedroom four star Premier Inn Hotel above
student accommodation and ground floor leisure units
fronting onto Lime Street. It should complete in late
spring 2018.
Work is still underway on the £10.5 million conversion of
the Corn Exchange in the heart of the City Centre’s
Historic Downtown area that links the Commercial Office
District with the Main retail Area and Grosvenor’s £1billion
Liverpool ONE shopping and leisure district. The scheme,
being undertaken by operator StayCity, will see the lower
ground floor and floors 2 to 8 converted to a 205
bedroom apart-hotel. It will open in early 2019.
Last summer saw commencement of the 122-room, four
star, £20 million Times by Vincent Hotel on Seel Street by
the Elliot Group. Positioned next to the £40 million
Wolstenholme Square residential and leisure scheme
currently being constructed by the same developer, and
opening in summer 2018, it will have a roof-top pool and
spa.
Opened in 2003 and extended in 2009, the boutique four
star Hope Street Hotel is being extended again; this time
into the 1931 wings of the adjacent former School for the
Blind. Twelve new bedrooms will be added, along with
26 apart-hotel suites to cater for the growing serviced
apartment/self catering market that the city is currently
witnessing.
Work is still progressing on the first phase of hostel
accommodation above Lanigans Irish Pub on Ranelagh
Street. The upper floors are being converted to 12
bedrooms, most of which will contain hostel style bunk
beds sleeping between 2 and 12 people per room.

Imminent Starts and Recent Applications or
Announcements
The rise in hotel occupancy and profits
continues to be a good sign that the
city’s hoteliers are doing well, and are
still able to comfortably absorb
growing capacity. As the city invests in
new leisure facilities and develops the
corporate hospitality market with more
conferences and exhibitions,
developers and investors still see the
city as capable of benefitting from
further hotel investment.
Signature Living is one of the most successful hotel
companies in Liverpool, and continues to see new
opportunities. The company’s latest plans will see the
empty Jerome and Carlisle Buildings on Victoria Street
converted into a luxury 100 bedroom hotel celebrtaing
Everton legend Dixie Dean. The 65,000 sq ft hotel will have
restaurants, bars and events space for weddings. The
venue will form part of plan to create a world-first ‘Football
Quarter’ in the City Centre, and will see the pavements
between the Dixie Dean Hotel and the Shnkly Hotel on the
other side of the street repaved with a ‘football walk of
fame’ that will include life-size bronze statues of Bill Shankly
and Dixie Dean.
Not only are Vincent Hotels behind the new Times by
Vincent Hotel currently being built on Seel Street, they are
also planning to open The Times Apart-Hotel by Vincent on
the Baltic Triangle’s waterfront. The £70 million
development will feature a 306 boutique bedrooms woth
an additional 50 serviced apartments in a 15 storey tower
overlooking the River Mersey. The serviced apartments will
be at the front of the development, with the hotel section
behind between Norfolk Street and Watkinson Street.
Apart-hotels are still proving a popular choice for investors,
with two new proposals for redundant office/retail space
above exiting shops on Church Street. Quest apartments
have been given approval for a £10 million investment to
provide 100 suites above 58-72 Church Street, whilst
Roomzzz and seeking to convert the upper floors of 53-57
Church Street to 105 serviced apartments. A 52 unit apart-
hotel is also proposed for Renshaw Hall between Benson
Street and Oldham Place; the former hall used in recent
years for car parking has already been demolished, and it
is hoped that construction could begin later in 2018. Two
recent applications submitted for apart-hotels are at 11
Davies Street (24 suites) and Brunswick Street (63 suites).
Further hotel proposals see early ideas coming forward for
the former Municipal Buildings which the Council recently
sold to Singaporean property company The Fragrance
Group, and also opposite the proposed new Cruise Liner
Terminal at Princes Dock where the Council is proposing to
build a new 200 bedroom 4 star hotel. Applications for
both are anticipated.

SERVICED APARTMENTS
OFFERING GREATER
CHOICE TO VISITORS
The sector is increasingly having
an impact on leisure travel as
people find serviced apartments
are a credible and cost-effective
alternative to traditional hotel
accommodation, proving
especially economical for longer
stays, group travel or family
parties, allowing savings on dining
out and offering in-house
entertainment as well as allowing
you to live like a local.
ASAP, The Association of Serviced Apartments
Providers
2017 and 2018 both look set to have
more serviced apartments become
available than traditional hotel rooms.
Perhaps inspired by the luxurious
communal living facilities seen in reality-
style television shows, some operators
are trying to provide visitors to the city
with a memorable experience of quality
with the flexibility of self-catering.
With some 162 serviced apartments added to the city
centre’s stock this year, and a further 302 already on site
to be delivered in 2018, the serviced apartment sector in
Liverpool is growing steadily.
The internet and online booking websites now play a
major part in making operators able to offer their
apartments without necessarily having a permanently
manned reception desk, with some made available being
just one or two apartments in larger complexes that have
normal residents now having to share their buildings with
short term visitors.
A second factor in the evolvement of the serviced
apartment sector in Liverpool is the flexibility of modern
designed residential stock. There have been incidences
of some owners of purpose-built student accommodation
finding rooms difficult to let, especially if buildings were
completed late and missed the start of the academic
year; rather than leave the rooms empty, operators have
been letting them as short term lets to the city’s visitors.
There are, however, issues with this regarding planning
permissions, so building owners/operators are advised to
contact the Council and check whether serviced
accommodation use is permitted. The Council will and
has been recently taking enforcement action against
some operators who have been operating without the
necessary permissions.
Of the 162 serviced apartments completed this year,
some 117 (or 72%) are within so-called apart-hotels (with
concierge/ reception and other facilities), whilst of the 302
currently under construction, 252 (or 83%) are in apart-
hotels. Therefore, by comparison, the number of
apartments provided within residential buildings as
opposed to purpose built “hotels” remains relatively minor.
Out of a total room stock of 7,859 in the city centre as at
December 2017, some 1,435 (19%) of that stock is now
serviced apartments.

INCREASING THE VIBE: OFFERING CULTURE TO AN
INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCE
Ten years on from its triumphant year as the
European Capital of Culture, Liverpool
continues to astound the world with its
reputation for staging some of the longest,
most creative and engaging events in the
UK. 2017 saw the city of Liverpool welcome
over 1 million people, generating more
than £18.2 million into the local economy
as people came to enjoy events, visit
attractions, engage in conferences,
celebrate birthdays and weddings, and to
shop in one of the country’s top retail
destinations.
Amongst the major events that pulled in visitors in 2017 were
“Sgt Peppers at 50: Heading for Home”, Armed Forces Day &
Mersey River Festival, Liverpool International Music Festival,
Clipper Around the World Race Start and River of Light.
The Liverpool Film Office reports 2017 as having been a record
year for filming with 289 companies generating 1,351 filming
days an increase of 55% generating £11.1 million of inward
investment – with many of the film crews using local hotels for
accommodation. In addition, Liverpool Cruise Terminal
welcomed over 100,000 passengers and crew and
approximately 50,000 spectators to the waterfront during cruise
ship visits, generating an economic impact of around £7 million.
As Liverpool celebrates ten years of delivering major cultural
events to the UK calendar, there will be no let up in 2018 which
will see, amongst others:
China Dream - The China Season will open just ahead of
Chinese New Year celebrations. A display of
contemporary commissions from Chinese artists will
coincide with the Terracotta Army coming to Europe for
the first time in a generation. The season will run from
February to October with three key moments dotted
throughout;
Rapid Response Unit – a 10 month commission showing
a year of news seen through the lens of leading national
and international artists as they respond to global events
and world stories as they happen. Rapid Response Unit
will put art and culture at the heart of the news agenda,
and Liverpool at the heart of every story.
Three Festivals Tall Ships Regatta will link Liverpool, Dublin
and Bordeaux, when the whole city will be transformed
into three cultural festivals reflecting the Celtic life-blood
that links each host port;
Future World of Work - Using the International Business
Festival as well as the Uniglobal World Summit as a
creative stimulus, the project will ask cultural and arts
organisations to design and challenge the way we will
make a living in the future. The season will include
debates, events and cultural interventions – all of which
will tackle the idea of the changing face of work and
how we might adapt to it;
Art of Football will explore the concept of 'Fandom'
through a range of small and medium scale
commissions, tackling traditional conceptions of football
and exposing new audiences to unexpected and
unfamiliar concepts and ideas;

Liverpool International Music Festival will return for the
sixth time following five hugely successful years. LIMF
brings together global acts, up-and-coming stars, radio
favourites and also a platform for local artists to hone
their skills, and for many, perform live in front of an
audience for the first time;
Around the World Clipper Finish - The Clipper Race now
consists of twelve large 70-foot modern racing yachts
sailed by 700 amateur crew, representing over 40
nationalities from all walks of life, led by professional
skippers, making it the biggest ocean race to circum-
navigate the planet. The historic Albert Dock will once
again play host to the race and the thousands of visitors
who will bring a welcome economic boost to the city.

BUSINESS AS USUAL AT
THE ACC LIVERPOOL CAMPUS
The financial year 2016/17 was a
year of rapid expansion for The
ACC Liverpool Group.
This was in part due to the first full
year of trading for Pullman
Liverpool and Exhibition Centre
Liverpool, coupled with strong
performance and growth in our
existing markets, which has been
made possible due to the
additional space available with the
completion of Exhibition Centre
Liverpool.
We are forecasting a further
increase in revenues as we
continue to expand our business
and host major events.
Bob Prattey, Chief Executive,
The ACC Liverpool Group
The devastating fire in the Liverpool
Waterfront Car Park on 31st December
2017 hit the national headlines. But
despite the damage, the ACC Liverpool
campus was unaffected by the fire and
is set to continue with its full programme
of events for the 2018 season. Very
much a case of “Business as Usual”.
The campus – home to BT Convention Centre, Echo Arena
and Exhibition Centre Liverpool, plays a significant role in
bringing visitors into the city for shows, exhibitions and
conferences. The location is so popular that several events
now keep returning to Liverpool – its facilities proving to be
the Number One choice to wow their visitors and attendees.
Amongst the returning attractions are the International
Horse Show (returning again in 2019 despite the fire that
disrupted the final evening performance of their event
recently), Liverpool Comic Con, the Liverpool Wedding
Show, the Allergy and Free From Show, Big Bang North West,
That’s Showbiz National Group Dance Finals and the Baby &
Beyond Show. Remove - Other returnees include the British
Style Collective bringing back the popular Clothes Show.
In the 2016/17 financial year , the ACC Liverpool Group
pulled in its highest annual turnover to date since its origins
in 2008. The company achieved sales of £25.8m in the 12
months to March 31 2017, up 50% against the £17.2m
reported the year previous.
The year saw 258 events take place across the group,
attracting over 660k visitors and delegates, generating an
estimated £204m in economic benefit for the Liverpool city
region, bringing the group’s overall economic impact since
2008 to more than £1.4bn. Events included performances
by pop legend Sir Elton John and girl band Little Mix, whilst
the facility also hosted the Labour Party conference and
international congresses such as the European Association
for International Education.
2018 will see some major new events taking place, such as
“Celebrating Sgt Pepper: Live”, and concerts from some
well known names including Paloma Faith, Katy Perry,
Nickelback, The Drifters and The Vamps. Popular comedians
will also be making appearances, including Russell Brand,
Ed Byrne, John Bishop, Peter Kay, Michael McIntyre and
comedy duo Flight of the Conchords.
New shows will include a Star Wars Gathering in July, 40
Years of Disco, X Factor Live Tour, David Gest’s Soul
Legends, Disney on Ice: Worlds of Enchantment, and the
world famous Harlem Globetrotters.
