Set just 7-minutes from Liverpool’s beautiful Waterfront in the heart of North John Street, Aloft is an urbane hotel with ultra-modern touches throughout. Set in the stunning (former) Royal Insurance building, the 116 rooms preserve features from its Edwardian working spaces, yet pull its aesthetic right into the 21st Century. The tasteful blend of classic dark-walnut furniture with new and modern metal features and simple (but bright) colour schemes, offers loads of personality and punch. Guests are greeted with airy room, complimentary coffee and water, modern docking stations and walk-in showers with Bliss Spa toiletries. The real bonus here is the fantastic breakfast which runs a global gastronomical gamut.
