The iconic Shankly Hotel in the heart of Liverpool City Centre has been launched to market by CBRE on behalf of Administrators, Kroll.
The property is a lifestyle branded and football themed hotel comprising 57 hotel bedrooms and 68 apartment style bedrooms with kitchen facilities, sleeping approximately 662 guests in total. It has a secure 111 space underground car park and a fully fitted gym which is leased by Liverpool City Council under its Lifestyles brand. There is further development potential to convert the two penthouse apartments into bedrooms and construct a rooftop pool.
In addition to room revenues, the Shankly Hotel generates particularly strong food and beverage revenues through the Bastion Bar and Restaurant, and two meeting / function and events venues that can accommodate up to 500 seated delegates or over 1,000 standing guests and have wedding and civil ceremony licenses. The rooftop bar, known as the Garden of Eden, also generates substantial appeal offering exceptional skyline views across the city.
Shaun Skidmore, Senior Director for Operational Real Estate at CBRE Manchester commented: “We are delighted to bring to market The Shankly Hotel at a time when the UK staycation market remains buoyant. Liverpool is the sixth most visited city in the UK with a strong performing hotel market, which benefits from a good mix of commercial and leisure demand. There is pent up demand for this kind of hotel which can accommodate groups of people keen to unite when restrictions allow.”
