Hope Street Hotel

At one end of Hope Street lies the imposing, brown brick Liverpool Cathedral, and at the other, you’ll find Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, with its distinctive conical tower; around halfway in between, meanwhile, is this chic boutique hotel, whose aesthetic perfectly blends in with its elegant surroundings in Liverpool’s Georgian Quarter. 

Think exposed brick interiors, timber-beamed ceilings, bespoke cherry and walnut furniture, and oak and birch floors. If you’re in the mood for some pampering, why not treat yourself to a massage at the Temple Spa? There are a whole host of packages available, each one designed to soothe and reinvigorate. 

The London Carriage Works restaurant, whose name pays homage to the building’s heritage as a former coach and carriage warehouse in the 1800s, specialises in contemporary British cuisine based around fresh, local and seasonal produce. It’s a delightful spot for afternoon tea, too, or for a round or two of cocktails in the evening. 

It’s in one of Liverpool’s most attractive neighbourhoods, so it’s well worth taking the time to explore the nearby area, whose cobblestone streets, gated gardens and rows of 18th-century townhouses provide endless photo opportunities. You’ll also find some of the city’s best restaurants in this area, as well as a concert hall and a theatre.
