We are very pleased to have received planning permission for the new Liverpool Cruise Terminal Hotel, a development that will play a significant role in the growth of the city’s already booming tourism industry. Months of work have gone into the planning for the project in terms of its delivery and the added value it will create for local people and we look forward to bringing these plans to fruition in the coming months and years.

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson said:
Liverpool should be the premier cruise destination on the west coast of the UK and our new terminal will underpin that ambition and make it a reality. This hotel is critical to the plan to create a world-class experience for the cruise companies and their passengers. The city is working with some of the very best in the construction industry to deliver the facilities and I’m delighted they’ve got the green light to start this hugely important scheme.

Darran Lawless, Development Director for Liverpool Waters, part of Peel L&P, said:
This is a fantastic step forward for Liverpool’s regeneration. The hotel will be a brilliant addition to our waterfront, allowing visitors from around the world to experience this fantastic city. We look forward to seeing the development progress as part of the wider Liverpool Waters scheme.

The proposed hotel will provide a high-quality, landmark building on this important part of the Liverpool waterfront – complementing the recently-approved Cruise Terminal and helping to secure significant benefits to the visitor and retail economies of the city and the wider region.
