Liverpool’S First Five Star Hotel To Go Ahead

Liverpools first five-star hotel will still go ahead despite the delays. Plans to convert the historic city centre Martins Bank on Water Street into a 227 bedroom hotel were given approval last June by Liverpool council. The £40m hotel will include two restaurants, three bars, a spa, and conference and banqueting rooms.  The development will see the building’s stunning banking hall, which features marble floors and 20 giant columns, converted into the hotel’s reception, bars and restaurants. Much of the bank’s original features will be retained, with the main dining area enclosed within the horseshoe-shaped tellers’ counter and the original writing desks kept. The Martins Bank site contains four floors of office space which will remain, with the hotel sandwiched between.
