Pullman, the upscale international hotel brand of AccorHotels, announces the opening of Pullman Liverpool, the brand’s first ever UK new build. Situated at King’s Dock on Liverpool’s worldfamous waterfront and adjoining ACC Liverpool, the newlybuilt hotel will open as one of the city’s most stylish hotels, featuring 216 rooms, an all day dining restaurant called Dukes and a bar and lounge with views of the River Mersey.

From the striking glassfronted façade through to the rooms and public areas, the hotel design reflects the rich marine influence of the city. The palette of materials used within the hotel is inspired by Liverpool’s iconic docks through the use of brushed copper, timber and stone. The hustle and bustle of docklands life is reflected in the carefully curated artwork that adorns each guestroom via dramatic large scale graphics. The furniture within the hotel’s public areas is generous and colourful, from the highbacked chairs in the Connectivity Lounge to the cosy banquettes in the restaurant. The hotel entrance area and lobby is open plan and free from reception desks with the brand’s design cues reflected in the impressive jet black world globe that sits in reception.
