A boutique hotel in Merseyside has been forced to change its name after a former director demanded £20k a month.
Waterfront Southport Hotel was formerly known as Bliss before it was revealed through documents submitted to Companies House that the four-star hotel took the decision to change its name due to a £20,000 a month charge by one of its former directors. The move came after the hotel was placed into administration and put up for sale.
The hotel is on Southport's waterfront next to the Marine Lake and the proposed Marine Lake Events Centre. It includes 131 bedrooms and penthouses, a lounge bar, restaurant, roof garden, gym, conferencing and events space, as well as secure underground car parking for 120 cars.
