The first Radisson RED to open in the north of England has arrived in one of Liverpool's historic Grade II-listed buildings.
Radisson RED Liverpool has opened on Lime Street in a building that was one of the original British railway hotels in the 1800s. The building, next to Liverpool Lime Street station, was previously known as North Western Hall and dates back to 1871.
It was originally designed by Aigburth-born Alfred Waterhouse as one of the British Transport Hotels, offering direct links to the neighbouring railway station. From the 1930s, the building was largely unused except for student accommodation in the 1990s.
