Can I come on my own?

Yes! Many of our guests come solo and have just as much fun.

Do you cater to different dietary needs?

Yes, dietary requirements and allergies are catered for. Unfortunately, preferences cannot always be taken into account. Please take a look at the menu before booking. Remember to add this information at checkout.

Please see menu attached in the image. You may choose one of these options.

There are on-street parking meters on and around Hope Street. The meters operate from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. We also recommend the Anglican Cathedral car park on Upper Duke Street, a five-minute walk from the hotel.

The closest main line station is Liverpool Lime Street, which is a 15-minute walk or a short taxi ride away. It also has local lines north and south to Southport and Chester. There is also a bus stop across from the hotel on Myrtle street.
