Meininger Hotels has today signed a contract to launch in Liverpool.

The venue will be located on Union Court and be the company's second site in the UK on the back of opening in Hyde Park in 2006.

Plans for a MEININGER Hotel Manchester are also underway and expected to open at the end of 2021.

With a gross floor area of 36,049 sq ft, the Liverpool venue will comprise 87 rooms and 277 beds across six floors, as well as a lobby, reception, guest kitchen, bar, lounge, game zone and breakfast area.

Hannes Spanring, chief executive of MEININGER Hotels, said: "Together with openings planned for this year in Paris and Lyon, as well as next year in Washington D.C, which will mark the respective market entries in France and the US, Liverpool is an important milestone in MEININGER Hotels' goal to operate approximately 34,000 beds internationally by 2024.

"In Liverpool, the figures for overnight stays and hotel offerings have shown a sustained upward trend in recent years, and the forecasts are also very positive."
