The hotel is around seven miles from the centre of the city and Liverpool Parkway Station is approximately a mile away.

Liverpool grew as a seaport on the River Mersey, and the Liver Building, with its famous Liver Birds, the Cunard Building and the Port of Liverpool Building dominate the waterfront. The city of Liverpool has given birth to such talents as The Beatles, and two famous football teams, Everton and Liverpool. One of the highlights of the city is the splendid 18th-century Town Hall, which stands just above the waterfront at the junction of Water Street and Castle Street. Other attractions include Liverpool's two cathedrals, located in the heart of the city. The Anglican cathedral in St James Road is the second largest Anglican Cathedral in the world, while the circular building of the Roman Catholic Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral has a fascinating glass lantern tower.

Head to Liverpool's renovated Albert Dock. Now a World Heritage Site waterfront, it comprises an impressive array of Grade I listed buildings, plus an array of bars, restaurants and cafes. Attractions here include The Tate Liverpool housing art from the Tate Collection, and special exhibitions of contemporary art on loan. Follow the Fab Four at the award-winning Beatles Story, and take the Magical Mystery Tour to Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane and more. You’ll also find the Merseyside Maritime Museum, describing the city’s maritime heritage and, on a grim note discover Liverpool’s connections to the slave trade at the International Slavery Museum. Don’t miss the opportunity to view sculptors Antony Gormley's ‘Another Place’ – an enigmatic sculpture of 100 cast-iron figures spread over a two-mile stretch of Crosby Beach, around five miles north of the city. Each figure is almost 6'2" tall and weighs over 1,400Ibs. The figures were cast from the artist's own body, and are revealed and submerged as the tide ebbs and flows…
