Project Details
IPW… advised ACC Liverpool and Liverpool City Council on the development and funding of a new 200 bed headquarters hotel and 8,000m² event and exhibition centre (ECL) which were delivered alongside Echo Arena and BT Covention Centre.
Our work included detailed analysis of alternative management and funding structures for the hotel in particular and an assessment of the interaction between event use and bed night demand.
Having developed an innovative delivery and funding model (with the Council owning the hotel) we designed and managed a competitive procurement process to select and appoint an operator and hotel brand for the scheme.
