Líbere Hospitality Group has signed a management agreement for a new aparthotel in Liverpool city centre, to be known as Líbere Liverpool Coopers Building.

The property will be located at 10–16 Church Street within the Grade II-listed Coopers Building. It represents the Group’s second managed property in the UK.

The Coopers Building was designed in 1914 by architect Gerald de Courcy Fraser. Originally occupied by the Coopers & Co department store until 1972, the building has since been used for retail and office purposes. It comprises a basement, ground floor and six upper floors, with the four upper levels now being converted for hospitality use.

Renovation works include façade restoration, roof replacement, structural strengthening, window replacement and internal strip-out. A number of historic features – including mosaic flooring, coffered ceilings and decorative cornicing – are being retained as part of the conversion.

On completion, the aparthotel will provide 148 studio units, including 141 studios with kitchenettes and seven with dedicated coffee stations. The accommodation is designed to cater for short and medium-term stays.

John Harrington, Líbere Hospitality Group business development director for the UK & Ireland, says: “We are delighted to bring Líbere’s innovative aparthotel concept to this dynamic destination known for its maritime, football and musical culture.

“The city draws visitors from around the world with the iconic attractions, and ready-made entertainment where Libere offers flexible, high-quality accommodation for both leisure and business travellers alike.”
