MEININGER Hotels has this week signed a contract for a new hotel in Liverpool, underlining its strategy and investment in UK growth of the business.
Thomas Hagemann, COO of MEININGER Hotels told us: “Our new hotel property in Liverpool is an existing building that will be converted into a typical MEININGER Hotel by spring 2021. “On a gross floor area of 36,049 sq ft (3,349 sq m), the result will be a state-of-the-art accommodation with 87 rooms and 277 beds spread over six floors.”
The MEININGER Hotel Liverpool will be located on Union Court, nearby many of the main cultural, architectural and gastronomic attractions of Liverpool city centre.
This will be the MEININGER Group’s second hotel in the UK after the opening of the MEININGER Hotel London Hyde Park in 2006. A MEININGER Hotel Manchester is also underway and expected to open at the end of 2021.
Hannes Spanring, CEO of MEININGER Hotels commented: “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 U.S., Liverpool is an important milestone in MEININGER Hotels’ goal to operate approximately 34,000 beds internationally by 2024.”
