Liverpool City Council says it has shortlisted three leading hotel companies - Accor, Hilton and IHG - to deliver the Knowledge Quarter project. A decision on the preferred operator and design is expected in late summer 2018.
The council says the creation of the mixed-use Paddington Village community will transform the former site of Archbishop Blanch School and forms part of the city's wider multi-billion pound Knowledge Quarter regeneration. Elsewhere in the Knowledge Quarter, it has been announced that the new £35 million northern headquarters of the Royal College of Physicians will be known officially as The Spine.
Major Liverpool regen project to include serviced apartments
A 250-key hotel and serviced apartment scheme will form the next phase of development at Liverpool’s Paddington Village.
“Recharge for us was that gathering of highly skilled professional individuals...and a true opportunity to spend 24-48 hours with these guys, build relationships, build a true understanding of how the different sectors within this hospitality world operate. From my perspective...in terms of the coliving, student accommodation and apartment-orientated industries, it was a really good opportunity to learn how those verticals operate, and how perhaps what we do as an organisation can be referenced within that particular vertical.”
Matthew Prosser, Senior Sales Director - Agilysys
