Titanic Hotel

The rooms at the Titanic Hotel are much larger than average with the smallest classic rooms starting at 56m² (602 sq ft). All rooms are air-conditioned and have comfortable beds, a flat-screen television with premium sports channels, a minibar fridge, ironing facilities, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom with a drench shower.

Superior rooms are even more spacious with superior amenities. In other words, a bigger bed and better en suite bathroom facilities.

There are several wheelchair-accessible rooms available.

The largest of the rooms are the hotel’s Presidential Suites. These 72m² (775 sq ft) rooms feature separate sleeping and living areas. The living spaces include a lounge area with a large flat-screen telly, a dining area and even a small kitchenette. The en suite bathroom facilities include both drench showers and a separate bathtub.

The hotel is set inside an old industrial building that has exposed brick walls and vaulted ceilings, which give it loads of character and it is much more spacious than most other hotels of a similar standard.

Like several other hotels in Liverpool, this hotel is subtly themed on the RMS Titanic and in this instance, rooms feature plans of the Titanic as well as advertising artwork for the White Star Line. The famous ship was registered in Liverpool and owned by the White Star Line, which was headquartered in the city. However, the Titanic never actually visited Liverpool.

The hotel has several bars and restaurants, which is important as there are very few other places to eat and drink in the immediate neighbourhood. The hotel’s on-site bars include Stanley’s Rum Bar with its extensive selection of rum as well as Stanley’s Bar & Grill, which includes the hotel’s main dining area. Afternoon tea is available at Stanley’s Bar & Grill, although it is a tad pricey, and the restaurant is also noted for its Sunday roast lunch.

The hotel also features a fitness centre (open daily 8am–8pm) and the Maya Blue spa, which has a hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room. All guests have complimentary use of the fitness facilities, however, there is an extra charge for spa treatments and thermal suite facilities.

Free Wi-Fi wireless internet access is available throughout the hotel.

The hotel is located at Stanley Dock, around 2.4km (1½ miles) north of the city centre and the surrounding area is not particularly attractive and there is not much of interest within close proximity of the hotel.

Although Stanley Dock shares many similarities with Albert Dock and is surrounded by warehouses built in a similar architectural style, the area has not yet been developed to the same standard as Albert Dock and it is located farther from the city centre.

The hotel faces the 14-storey abandoned Grade II-listed Tobacco Warehouse, which is the world’s largest brick warehouse and it was the world’s largest building by area in 1901 when it was completed. The warehouse is undergoing conversion into apartments and the surrounding area will eventually be gentrified with new cafes, restaurants and shops expected to open over the next few years. Although parts of the immediate neighbourhood around the hotel may feel somewhat neglected, this is likely to change during the next five years or so.

It takes around half an hour to walk into the city centre and it is not a particularly pleasant walk. Although some bus routes stop nearby, they run infrequently when compared to bus routes elsewhere in the city. A taxi or Uber into the city centre costs around £5.

Secure car parking is available at the hotel but there is an additional charge of £5 per 24-hour-period.
