Liverpool Hilton up for sale
JLL has been appointed to find a buyer for the 221-bed asset, currently owned by Ability Hotels.
Ability acquired the hotel on Liverpool’s Thomas Steers Way in 2009 for £39.4m, according to Land Registry filings, and is reportedly seeking £60m for it.
Developed by Grosvenor as part of Liverpool ONE and constructed between 2007 and 2009, the hotel is operated by Hilton. At the time of the deal, the hotel was Hilton’s first in Liverpool. The group has since added a Doubletree on Sir Thomas Street.
The successful buyer would also take ownership of 47 apartments as part of the building, as well as more than 8,000 sq ft of events space.
Marketing materials for Project Beatle prepared by JLL describe the hotel as “best in class” and located in “one of England’s largest football and cultural hubs”.
The hotel is located next door to Canning Place, the former Merseyside Police HQ, which is earmarked for redevelopment.
