Crowne Plaza Liverpool John Lennon Airport

The Crowne Plaza Liverpool John Lennon Airport Hotel, formerly the Marriott Liverpool South Hotel, is set inside Liverpool Airport’s original terminal building and aviation enthusiasts will enjoy staying in the historic airport terminal.

The Art Deco terminal building has featured in early television news footage with Beatles fans waiting to see the band return from tour and the building has also featured on the cover art of the Oasis single, Don’t Go Away.

The building lay dormant for 10 years after Liverpool Airport’s new terminal building opened in 1986 and it was later adapted as a hotel, which opened in 2001. The building’s aviation heritage has been maintained with several historic aircraft on display on the former apron including a BAe Jetstream 41, a Bristol Britannia 308F, Hawker Siddley HS 748 and a Percival Prince. There is also a replica de Havilland Dragon Rapide in front of the hotel entrance.

All rooms have comfortable beds, a work desk, a flat-screen television, tea and coffee making facilities and en suite bathrooms. Six of the rooms are set up for guests who need wheelchair access.

The hotel also has business facilities including a 24-hour business centre with copying and printing services plus 12 meeting rooms, the largest with a capacity of 280.

Despite being located inside the airport’s original terminal building, the Crowne Plaza Liverpool John Lennon Airport hotel is farther from the airport than you would expect and it is a 40-minute walk (or a six-minute bus ride) to the new terminal building. (Photo: IHG)

Despite being located inside the airport’s old terminal building, it is actually not particularly close to the airport and the new terminal is now around a 40-minute walk (or a six-minute bus ride) from the hotel. Despite being a fair distance from the airport, it is just a short walk to a large retail park that includes a multiplex cinema complex as well as cafes, restaurants and shops.

The bus stop on Speke Road, between the hotel and the retail park, has regular bus services with bus routes 86A, 86D and 500 going to the airport.

Free on-site parking is available for guests staying at the hotel but non-guests are charged £6 per 24 hours.
