Pullman Liverpool: A warm welcome to Merseyside
Pullman knows a hotel is far more than somewhere to eat and sleep. It’s an opportunity to feel welcome in a new location, a place guests can be at their very best, for work and play. Pullman Hotels & Resorts offer a chance to recharge and explore. Focus and socialise. Because we know life won’t slow down once you check in… unless you really want it to.
A gateway to some of the most exciting cities around the globe, Pullman have more than 120 properties worldwide including Pullman Paris Tour Eiffel, Pullman Park Lane Hong Kong, Pullman London St Pancras, Pullman Quay Grand Sydney Harbour and Pullman Barcelona Skipper. Part of AccorHotels, Pullman knows exactly where modern-day adventurers and global travellers need to be. Right at the centre of the action. For business and for pleasure.
And there is nowhere better to be in the UK in 2018 than thriving, cosmopolitan Liverpool. Voted the best city in England outside the capital earlier this year by TripAdvisor and currently celebrating ten years since it was named the European Capital of Culture, Liverpool is cool but playful, smart but vibrant. Home to The Beatles, two Premier League football clubs, the largest cathedral in Britain and the Tate Liverpool. It boasts some of the UK’s best shopping with the sprawling Liverpool One complex, designer boutiques of Cavern Walks and vintage paradise in Lark Lane. Yet also offers endless cultural delights from the mysterious underground labyrinth in the 19th century Williamson Tunnels to the stunning Walker Art Gallery and the breathtaking sculptures by Antony Gormley on Crosby Beach. Outside London, it is the country’s richest creative hub, the centre of progressiveness and a city that embraces both its industrial roots and artistic soul. It works hard, but plays harder. There was nowhere better suited to site the first Pullman outside London, the hotel’s first newly built property in the UK.
Opened in 2016, Pullman Liverpool connects guests to the city by putting them at its very heart, where business and leisure merge seamlessly. The hotel presides over the Kings Dock on Liverpool’s world famous waterfront, just a five minute walk from the buzzing Albert Dock, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where seasonal events, live performances and festivals take place year-round. And tourists and locals alike enjoy the restaurants, bars, independent shops and museums, including the Merseyside Maritime Museum, International Slavery Museum and the world’s largest exhibition dedicated entirely to the Beatles. It’s also the place to join the unmissable Magical Mystery Tour, a two hour bus tour that visits key Beatles spots including Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and the legendary Cavern Club.
When duty calls, Pullman Liverpool is perfectly placed too. Close to all major transport links, the hotel adjoins the Exhibition Centre, is connected to ACC Liverpool and is steps away from the Echo Arena: a location that means business.
The Pullman experience starts when you step inside. The welcome you receive by Pullman is not just about handing over a key. It’s about making sure the details are right so everyone can get on with the business of having a great time. In Pullman Liverpool, they encourage travellers to take the weight off, drop their bags and choose a plush velvet sofa in the lobby. Then their Welcomers can go through check in on an iPad while guests sit back and make themselves at home.
Stylish, relaxing and high-tech, the Pullman room could never be just a bed for the night. It’s an office, a thinking space, a home from home. At Pullman Liverpool, dark wood and soothing taupes and greys create a sophisticated backdrop to views of the city skyline and Mersey River beyond the essential blackout curtains. Black and white photos of Liverpool’s maritime history capture the dockside location, echoed in details like the hanging rope lanterns for bedside lights.

And Pullman believes connectivity is not optional. So each of the hotel’s 216 bedrooms offer complimentary 5G Wi-Fi. Free, high speed and all the time – for every device. Whether guests need to keep an eye on the stock markets or their social media, at Pullman it can be done seamlessly in the lobby, the bar or the bath. Because these days, Pullman knows that business does not just stay in the meeting room.
And when work stops and downtime starts, Pullman Liverpool has thought of everything. Every bedroom features free Sky and BT Sports, complimentary mineral water and indulgent Co. Bigalow toiletries. In addition, deluxe rooms include a Bose docking station, a Nespresso machine and an in-room iPad. And all offer free movies on demand. Because sometimes, well-being starts with a quiet night in.
Yet Pullman Liverpool understands that business is a way of life too. For hyper-connected global nomads, there are no boundaries between work and play. Between business hours and leisure time. The whole city is their office; the world their playground. Pullman appreciates that work is rarely 9 to 5, and a hotel must be a 24-7 base to network and innovate. Pullman Liverpool has ensured it can adapt to suit their guests’ business needs, whatever they may be. Whether work demands a quick pre-dinner drink with a colleague, a conference to share a big idea with global entrepreneurs or a space to refuel and think through a new project. Pullman provides tailor-made and flexible solutions for a new generation of business traveller.
