Hope Street Hotel 40 Hope St, Liverpool L1 9DA, UK

Introduction

hope street hotel and its restaurant The London Carriage Works are on Hope Street, Liverpool L1.

The building is a mixture of 1867 and 2009 and whilst we aim to meet the needs of all our guests there are some period features of the architectural mix that might make access difficult for people with limited mobility.

There are 89 rooms, six event spaces, a gym, a bar and of course the restaurant. All these spaces are accessible to wheelchair users and those with mobility difficulties, though at times there is a bit of a ‘round about’ route.

Our neighbours on Hope Street are the Everyman theatre, the Philharmonic Hall – home of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, various real ale pubs and other notable eateries. The street is all bookended by two iconic Cathedrals. We have collated all Access information from all the public buildings on Hope Street; this document is available on request.

Car Parking and Arrival

We have 10 car park spaces in private office car park behind the building opposite ours. Each space is £10.00 per stay and usually on a first come first served basis however guests with mobility issues can reserve spaces in advance.

There are three Blue badge spaces also opposite the hotel on Caledonia Street alongside the Philharmonic Hall, a one minute walk away. Footpaths in the surrounding areas are in a good state of repair and include dropped kerbs at crossing points.

There is a dropping off space at the top of Hope Place predominantly used by visitors to the restaurant or bar. The entrance to the building is via a sloped piece of pavement. This entrance needs to be unlocked by a member of staff so advance warning is needed. This entrance is also close to the accessible WC and lift for restaurant and bar.

Hotel guests can be dropped off directly outside the hotel on Hope Street itself.
