The Hard Day’s Night Hotel in Liverpool is an obvious reference to the city’s most famous home grown talent, the Beatles. Liverpool is a city steeped with history, and a wide range of famous attractions and exports. But anyone who has been there will tell you, it’s hard to escape references or images relating to the Beatles.
This hotel has taken it to the next level however. Sure there are references to the Beatles throughout, but as a hotel it’s truly excellent. It’s located in the musical quarter of the city, and stands proud as a large brownstone Georgian building.
As you enter the building you are treated to a range of Beatles references. From large murals with lyrics from some of their hit songs, to a yellow submarine-style juke box, and busts, statues, and endless pictures of the Beatles everywhere.
I will mention at this point that we have been guests at Hard Day’s Night before, and we stayed in the Lennon Suite both last time and this time. The suite has been noticeably refurbished since out previous visit however.
It was a beautifully presented, luxury suite last time. But now with new carpets, furniture, and a facelift it's well worth a visit. There are still pictures and references to the Beatles of course, we wouldn’t expect anything less.
“You don’t have to be super-fans of the Beatles to enjoy the experience.”
But it’s tastefully done, and the suite is finished with relaxing colours, thick curtains, and luxurious furnishings. The suite is very spacious, with a very comfortable feel and lots of plush cushions and seating.
The living area includes everything you will need, from a LCD TV, Wi-Fi, Minibar, Coffee making facilities, and complementary bottled water. The suite has a balcony too, offering some impressive views of the city. But it doesn’t stop there, with a grand piano and a large seating area it’s easy to imagine this room being host to some entertaining parties.
The bathroom was meticulously clean and well-presented. There is a shower and bath, plenty of fresh towels and products. It provides a tranquil place to relax and clear your head, in an otherwise busy city.
The décor around the whole hotel is modern and finished to a high standard. It’s a joy to walk around looking at some of the memorabilia, the styling has been well thought out.
Our stay at Hard Day’s Night was wonderful. You don’t have to be super-fans of the Beatles to enjoy the experience, the hotels stands on its own as luxurious experience. Twice is not enough, we will be staying here again in the future, and recommend it to anyone else too.
The Bill: £950 per night
