John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton said, "At DoubleTree by Hilton, our hospitality starts with the presentation of our signature, freshly-baked chocolate chip cookie at check-in. Liverpool is a thriving cultural, historical and commercial centre, and we're looking forward to hosting the increasing number of both leisure and corporate visitors the city is seeing."
Terence Southward, general manager, DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool, said, "The hotel is truly unique in that it combines 19th century splendor with the contemporary vibrancy of a 21st century hotel. Our superb location, just a short walk from the historic docks and the lively Cavern Quarter, plus our extensive range of accommodation, spa and dining facilities make DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool the number one choice for travellers."
All guest rooms offer the comfort of a king or queen size bed, fridge, secure safe and a 37 inch LCD television. Six suites offer a separate living area with an additional LCD television, pull-out sofa and complimentary mini-bar as well as a separate bathtub and walk-in rain shower.
