Accor has signed a management agreement with Liverpool City Council for its Novotel brand to occupy the council’s 221-bedroom hotel scheme in Paddington Village.
The 16-storey hotel is under construction and due to open in Q2 2022. Legacy Hotels & Resorts has also signed an agreement to deal with the hotel on the council’s behalf.
The hotel sits within the council’s £1bn Paddington Village development, which will create 1.8m sq ft of mixed-use space.
Mike Horne, divisional manager – capital projects at Liverpool City Council, said: “The city council was focused on developing a leading hotel within the Paddington Village scheme that would benefit the significant investment we are making in across the Knowledge Quarter development.
“The new room concept Novotel from Accor and the experienced Legacy Hotels & Resorts management team were an ideal combination.”
