Varaa tämä, jos You want to sleep inside a piece of Liverpool history where the architecture is 5-star, even if the 'extras' cost extra.
Miksi ihmiset rakastuvat sitä
- The stunning Palm Court bar in the central atrium
- Thermae Spa's Himalayan salt sauna and 16m pool
- Location on Dale Street, walking distance to the Cavern Club
Pikakatsaus: A visually spectacular renovation of a historic council building that nickle-and-dimes you for the pool and breakfast.
Arvioinut @GillDay9484475: Checking into The Municipal felt like coming home. I loved the personalized welcome note and macarons waiting for me—such a classy touch. The bathroom is stunning with that heated towel rack, perfect for cozying up. It’s my go-to sanctuary in Liverpool.

- You love architecture and historic renovations
- You want a buzzy, Instagrammable hotel bar (Palm Court)
- You are traveling without kids (the pool cost adds up fast for families)
