Beatles 'themed' hotel to open in Liverpool

The city of Liverpool, home to the Beatles and the official capital of pop according to the Guinness Book of Records, will soon be playing a hipper tune with the grand opening of Hard Days Night Hotel in January 2008. The hotel opening will coincide with Liverpool’s tenure as the 2008 European Capital of Culture.

The Hard Days Night Hotel, a four star boutique hotel set in the heart of the ‘Beatles Quarter’, is just a stones through away from the world famous Cavern Club where the Beatles first rose to fame. The stunning Grade II listed hotel will feature 110 rooms, including executive rooms and two stunning penthouses - the specially designed Lennon & McCartney suits - the Lennon featuring a white grand piano.

Specially commissioned artwork, created by acclaimed Beatles artist Shannon will adorn the walls telling the story of the Beatles from the ‘basement to the roof’ through the 110 guest bedrooms and public rooms.

Available to hotel guests and non-residents will be two high quality restaurants, The Brasserie and Blakes serving modern British cuisine. Blakes’ interiors will feature images designed by Sir Peter Blake inspired by the cover of the Sergeant Pepper album. The hotel will also be home to two exclusive bars: Hari’s and Bar Four (for hotel guests and non-residents). In addition, further facilities include two conference rooms for private entertaining and corporate events as well as a unique wedding chapel.

The Brasserie will be the location for one of the hotel’s ‘must see’ showpieces with imagery created by Shannon changing at certain times of the day to adapt to the restaurant’s shifting ambience.

Trevor Lynn, Hard Days Night Hotel (HMI Ltd) said: “The Hard Days Night Hotel will be the perfect setting for our guests to enjoy and experience the comfort of our rooms and witness the magnificent commissioned Beatles artwork. The bars and restaurants in this hotel, including Bar Four and Blakes, will definitely be the place to be and be seen in.”
