A new hotel offering serviced apartments will open its doors on Duke Street, as work gets underway on the city’s third Epic Apart-Hotel.

The company, which specialises in serviced apartments and has two nearby sites on Seel Street and Campbell Street, will open a third venue on 75 Duke Street in a derelict building that has lain empty for 30 years. It promises 17 new ‘chic and contemporary’ apartments in the building, bringing its apartment offering in Liverpool to 35.

Epic says two of the rooms will be mezzanine studios and one of these will include access to a courtyard garden. The company is spending £800,000 to convert the building into a hotel and will create 15 jobs as a result of the development. It plans to offer two-bedroom apartments for the more leisure-focused weekend visitors and single rooms for midweek business guests.

Simon Beer, one half of the husband and wife team that owns the company, says: “We are very excited to bring back to life this stunning building on Duke Street. The new apartments have been engineered in a way that a two-bedroom can become a one-bedroom if needed. This flexibility is ideal for the midweek commercial market and further demonstrates the brand’s continued evolution.”
