LIVERPOOL HOTELS UPDATE
March 2014
01
Foreword
Welcome to the latest edition of the Liverpool Hotels Update.
Since 2004 this document has been published jointly between Liverpool City
Council and the Liverpool Enterprise Partnership around twice a year. 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:

SIX NEW HOTELS OPEN
TO GREET CONTINUING
RISE IN VISITOR NUMBERS
Once again, as in previous years, Liverpool’s hotel sector has
much to celebrate. Between January and December 2013,
six new hotels opened in the City Centre at a combined cost
of around £40 million, bringing an additional 404 rooms to the
market. Refurbishment works to two other hotels saw an
additional 10 rooms created, with a further 17 being
refurbished.
According to figures supplied by Liverpool LEP based on
occupancy figures provided by STR Global, despite this
additional capacity, the 1.326 million rooms sold exceeded
2012’s record 1.19 million. Although January 2013 was
disappointing, all subsequent months broke previous totals,
whilst December 2013 saw the greatest rise of 22.7%
compared to December 2012.
Liverpool has traditionally struggled with its weekday
occupancy. However, during 2013 the City Centre has seen
some welcome progress in reversing this trend with April, June,
August, October and December all seeing modest increases,
now taking the average from 67.9% to 70.9%.
03
Weekend occupancy continues to perform well, maintaining
a healthy average between April and December of 88.5%,
also slightly above 2012’s 87.8%. Neverthless, the overall
figures indicate that even with more hotels opening, the
underlying number of visitors to the city – and rooms sold –
both continue to grow.
More importantly for hoteliers, room yield also saw a healthy
increase, rising almost 4% from £43.72 in 2012 to £45.45 in
2013.
However, we are not complacent. We recognise that our
overall performance is not necessarily as high as most other
Core Cities, and that we have more budget hotels than
average. The City aspires to have a more healthy mix of
hotel types, and for room rates and corresponding yields to
be higher, particularly if we are to realise our ambition to see
a 5 star hotel open here.

An alternative BDO Hotel Performance Benchmark covering
a smaller sample of the city’s upper tier hotels shows overall
occupancy of 68.6% against a UK average of 74.33%
(placing Liverpool in 8th place, just ahead of Birmingham).
However, average room yield was £46.72 against the UK
average of £45.83 (with Liverpool placed 5th out of the 9
cities sampled).

weekday occupancy in the city. This

CITY CENTRE HOTELS
With the addition of 6 new hotels, the City Centre now has
6,181 bedrooms across a range of accommodation types.
Of the 404 new bedrooms added to the stock in 2013, 339
of these were in 3 new budget hotels, bringing the total
stock of budget bedrooms to 1,672 or 27.1%.
The heat is now being taken off budget accommodation;
2014 currently has no new budget hotels under
construction. The 5 new developments on site are a mix of
4 star, boutique and apart-hotels, providing 606 new
bedrooms/suites between them. There are also fewer
budget hotels being proposed, giving the city’s hotel
market some breathing space to readjust and
concentrate on developing more bedspace
accommodation for business/conference users and other
visitors seeking a higher quality experience or longer stays
with added home-style comforts.
Liverpool continues to develop its visitor economy. More
cruise liner passengers are coming each year. Exhibition
Centre Liverpool, sitting next to the Arena & Convention
Centre, is now on site. Investment in the city’s theatre
venues is continuing, as is the Liverpool’s growing ability to
attract film makers to use our unique architecture and
streetscapes for major productions.

OTHER ACCOMMODATION TYPES
Liverpool has a long reputataion not only for being a
welcoming city, but also a fun and funky city that appeals
to all tastes.
FIGURE 7:
Other Accommodation Types in
Liverpool City Centre
In addition to the various hostels that offer bedspaces at
remarkably cheap rates, since 2012 the city’s Albert Dock
has been home to two unique “hotels”, the “Yellow
Submarine” (after the famous Beatles inspired vessel of the
same name ), and the “Joker Boat” (themed on Batman’s
arch-nemesis The Joker from the film series). In 2013, local
entrepreneur Alfie Bubbles also somewhat controversially
launched “The Titanic”, a third movie-inspired creation.
Despite the initial controversy, the three venues remain a
popular addition to the city’s hotel accommodation offer.
Hotel Outside of the City Centre, it is recognised that the local
visitor economy is supported by the Bed & Breakfast
industry. Liverpool has several B&Bs, with planning
permission recently having been submitted for a new one in
Anfield, close to Liverpool’s football stadium where there is
already a significant cluster according to TripAdvisor.com.
In locations such as North Liverpool, Bed & Breakfasts have
the opportunity to be the pioneers in supporting local
tourism in neighbourhoods where traditional hotel operators
may not yet be ready to commit to. As such, the City
Council is keen to support the development of good quality
Bed & Breakfast accommodation outside the City Centre.

THE RISE OF LIVERPOOL’S APART-HOTELS
“Posh Pads at the Casartelli”
In early 2013, BigHospitality 1 commented on the growth of the
serviced apartment market and the rise of apart-hotels carving
themselves a new niche in the United Kingdom’s hotel and
catering industry. Several operators – particularly young
companies rather than well-known brands already established
in the hotel industry – had begun to tap into the need for fully
furnished apartments for short or long stays which also offer
some of the benefits of using a hotel, such as a manned
reception or restaurant/dining facilities. However, these facilties
may be limited, as it is the reduced costs of staffing,
housekeeping, bars and restaurants which keep room rates
lower and make apart-hotels more attractive to cost-conscious
accommodation-seekerss.
Staybridge Suites was the first apart-hotel to open in Liverpool,
arriving in time for the city’s year as European Capital of Culture
in 2008. The venue clearly appealed to business travellers
visiting the adjacent BT Convention Centre, but the magnificent
waterfront location close to the historic Albert Dock and
shopaholics’ favourite Liverpool ONE retail and leisure complex
has also seen Staybridge prove popular with families who like
the hotel’s home-like environment and self-catering facilties.
The last 12 months has seen the concept evolve, with three of
the six hotels which have opened since March 2013 calling
themselves “apart-hotels”:-
invests in key,
“ Astccor
rategically-located cities.
•
“Adagio Apart-hotel” opened its 129 suites as the first
element of the £120 million Central Village development
in March 2013. It is operator Accor’s third venue in the
UK;
Liverpool is a fantastic city with
lots on offer for business and
leisure guests.
•
“The Richmond” opened inside the former Merseytravel
offices in Hatton Garden in April 2013. The £10million
conversion saw 51 suites created above a stylish bar,
brasserie and guests’ salon;
Thomas Dubaere, Accor Managing
Director for the UK & Ireland
•
“Epic Apart-hotel” was the most recent venue to open in
Spetember, converting a former nightclub into 14 suites.
Epic had already been established in the city for several
years operating serviced apartments in a variety of
buildings on Duke Street in the Ropewalks district.
”
Meanwhile, Signature Living is currently investing £5.5million
refurbishing the former White Star Line headquarters overlooking
The Strand as a 35 bedroomed apart-hotel with a gym, bar and
restaurant (including an additional 30 mixed flexible ensuite bed
spaces). Named “30 James Street”, it will complete during the
summer of 2014 and bring this fabulous listed building back into
use after many years of being vacant.
In addition to the above, Gethar Ventures are seeking
permission to convert the upper floors of the former George
Henry Lee Building on Church Street to a £15million 114
bedroomed 4 star apart-hotel, and – more recently – Stanley
Dock Properties has submitted an application for a 128 roomed
apart-hotel in Stanley Dock’s Southern Warehouse.

VISITOR ECONOMY RISE
BOOSTING HOTEL
SECTOR
A key element of Liverpool’s hotel industry success is how the
city’s visitor economy has continued to thrive since our highly
successful and ground-breaking year as 2008’s European
Capital of Culture.
Apart from the city’s architectural heritage, its museums,
theatres, international sports venues, celebrated nightlife,
excellent shopping and leisure facilities, superb arena and
conference venues, Liverpool’s ability to host local, national
and international events continues to draw visitors from
across the globe.
During 2013, some 800,000 people came to a series of
cultural events such as the Battle of the Atlantic 70th
Anniversary Commemoration (BOA), the Mersey River Festival
and the inaugural Liverpool International Music Festival
(LIMF). Independent economic impact studies revealed that
these three events alone were attended by 625,000 visitors, of
which a third came from outside the North West of England.
It is estimated that £10.6 million was generated in economic
spend from these three events alone.
2014 is set to be equally as impressive. Amongst many
highlights, Liverpool will see the return of the Royal de Luxe
giants for “Memories of 1914”. the UK’s flagship event to
commemorate World War One in late July. When the giants
first came in April 2012 for the “Sea Odyssey” event, they
attracted an estimated 800,000 people, generating £32
million for the Liverpool economy – almost three times the
initial £12 million estimate.
Liverpool is also set to play host to the International Festival
for Business, the largest event of its kind in the UK since the
festival of Britain in 1951. This global gathering of world’s most
inspiring businesses will take place over 61 days between
June and August, bringing £100 million of inward investment
to the UK and 250,000 visitors to the city.
The Liverpool Biennial, a ten-week-long contemporary arts
festival over the summer will see the city filled with works
from around the world. Other events include Rock ‘n’ Roll
Marathon Festival in May, the Jazz Festival, the Open Golf
Tournament, and Mondrian at Tate Liverpool.
In addition to all the above, the city’s cruise liner facility is
continuing to build the numbers of cruise ships bringing
visitors to the city. 35 cruise liners visited the city during 2013
bringing 44,478 passengers and 15,864 crew. They were
joined by 18 Royal and foreign navy ships, the Christian
Radich Tall Ship, the Tall Ships Youth Trust’s Sail Training Tall
Ship Stavros Niarchos, and a further 20 working ships.
The new £40 million Exhibition Centre Liverpool is now on site
next to the existing Arena and Convention Centre. From
2015 this will significantly boost the number of visiting
delegates to the city, creating yet more custom for the
city’s eagerly waiting hotel sector. It will also have a new
£26 million, 200 bedroom, 4 star Pullman brand hotel built
above it.

Anticipated Hotel Schemes with Named Operators Announced
NOTE: These are schemes where developers have sought planning permission for sites or buildings (or announced schemes in the
local press). This is sometimes to enable them to market and sell sites or buildings with permission for a hotel even though they are
not necessarily planning to build one. Proposed schemes with operators signed up are often more likely to proceed.

PART 4:
Anticipated Hotel Schemes (with no Operators Identified or
Named)
These are schemes where developers have sought planning permission for sites or buildings (or announced schemes in the local
press). This is sometimes to enable them to market and sell sites or buildings with permission for a hotel even though they are not
necessarily planning to build one. Therefore it is likely that some of these schemes will not be progressed.
