Peel Waters unveils Liverpool waterfront hotel development site

Peel Waters has unveiled two development sites along Liverpool’s waterfront at Princes Dock and is actively seeking global hotel operators for them.

Both hotel sites are located along Liverpool’s internationally recognised waterfront, close to the city centre, the new Isle of Man Ferry terminal, and Everton Football Club’s brand new 52,000 seat stadium.

In May, Peel Waters and Peel Ports announced a 50-year agreement with Global Ports Holding Plc to operate services from Liverpool Cruise Port.

The two new developments will join a Princes Dock neighbourhood alongside hundreds of new homes and 200,000 sq ft of Grade A commercial space.

Chris Capes, director for development at Liverpool Waters, said: “There is no doubt that Liverpool is an exciting international destination, which is attracting global attention and has huge potential for the future. The regeneration of Liverpool’s historic northern docks at Liverpool Waters, is already having a huge impact on the number of visitors and tourists coming here to enjoy everything this fantastic city has to offer.

“Our masterplan for Liverpool Waters supports the opportunity for at least two new waterfront hotels to accommodate the growing number of tourists and so we are now actively looking for a hotel operator to develop this first prime waterfront site.”

He added: “We will also be very excited to bring forward the site of the current temporary cruise liner terminal once Global Ports Holdings relocates to their new terminal. This is possibly the most prominent site at Liverpool Waters and so we will be looking for something quite special that will really transform that part of Liverpool’s iconic waterfront.”
