The Adelphi Hotel was once considered a Liverpool gem.
When the current hotel building first opened, designed by architect Frank Atkinson, it was regarded as "the most luxurious hotel outside London". But today that description couldn't be much further from the truth.
For many years now the famous old hotel on Ranelagh Street has been a source of scorn and derision. The ECHO has run countless articles on complaints from guests who have stayed there in recent times. It is clear the hotel needs investment and improvement but there has been little sign of this from the current owners.
