Few cities blend the old with the new as well as Liverpool . Once a thriving home to industry and trade, wealth poured into the port city during the height of the British Empire and some spectacular buildings arose from its wind-sculpted streets. Though a post-war decline was inevitable, the billion-pound regeneration around Liverpool’s waterfront from the 1990s onwards has maintained its heritage while adding sleek new hotels, museums , restaurants, apartments and more.
Becoming European Capital of Culture in 2008 was huge, while more recently hosting Eurovision in 2023 and Taylor Swift concerts in 2024 has only added to the city’s already-strong cultural cache alongside the demand for quality accommodation. Whether it’s repurposing spectacular existing sites like The Municipal or creating slick new hotels from the ground up like The Halyard, Liverpool is a city unafraid of moving with the times. Expect more in the years to come as the city on the Mersey goes from strength to strength.
