The Radisson SAS Hotel in Liverpool is a striking, purpose-built hotel situated in an ideal location from which to explore Liverpool – European City of Culture 2008. The distinctive and impressive figure of the Radisson SAS Hotel stands conveniently close to the city centre and overlooks the historic Princes Dock - part of Liverpool’s historic waterfront and an area that has seen dramatic redevelopment and improvements in recent years, helped in no small part by the appearance of this premier luxury hotel.
Princes Dock is rapidly evolving as a cool and sophisticated part of the city renowned throughout the world for its innovation in music, politics and the arts; its diverse and multi-faceted culture; its nautical prowess and its sporting achievements. Liverpool’s docks stood as the historical gateway from the UK to the rest of the world, from its beginnings as a tiny harbour in the 13th Century for sending goods to Ireland, to its dominant position as the UK’s busiest port during the height of the British Empire. Princes Dock was built during the dramatic development of Liverpool’s Docks in the 19 th Century, and opened in 1821. After over a century and a half of prosperity, Princes Dock began to falter and suffered a decline in its fortunes. Thankfully, through considerable drive and determination, the city of Liverpool can look forward to an exciting future once again, and the redevelopment of the Princes Dock is typical of the transformation of Liverpool that will take place between now and 2008, when it will become one of Europe’s top destinations as it hosts the European City of Culture.
Already Princes Dock has seen the building of a 100,000 sq ft office development and a 752-space car park, and is set to become the site for several new hotels. The aim is for Princes Dock to be an exciting venue in which to work, relax, reside and party around the clock. The cool and sophisticated persona of the Radisson SAS Hotel sits very comfortably with this new philosophy, placing it at the heart of Liverpool’s fresh ambition. Its 194 rooms, including 29 Business Class rooms; nine stylish conference and banqueting suites; chic and contemporary restaurant and bar; and up to date leisure facilities make this Liverpool’s top luxury hotel and a stylish way of taking in all that this city has to offer.
