Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram has hailed the Baltic Triangle’s first hotel development as a driver for “more investment and tourism to the area”.

The £7 million Baltic Hotel, which officially opened in late July, features 58 rooms which deliver an “eccentric, unique feel” with music memorabilia adorning the walls and” luxurious lounge areas”. Peloton bikes have also been installed in some spaces while others boast views over the city and River Mersey.

Completing the rooms are fully-stocked Marshall speaker mini-bars and interactive tablet controls.

Situated in a former factory and warehouse on Jamaica Street, one space at the hotel is being transformed into the Open Arms pub, with inspiration drawn from Guy Ritchie’s trendy London offerings, and another will be a laidback Shoreditch-style restaurant called The Baltic Brasserie. Both venues are set to open later this year.

Mayor Rotheram was impressed after visiting the development, being shown around the rooms and getting behind the DJ decks at reception while also viewing the restaurant area situated in a former ammunition factory.

He says: “I used to work in the Baltic Triangle area as a bricklayer in the ’90s and the regeneration here has been incredible.

“You would have never been able to put a hotel here back then but what’s happened since is remarkable and this development will drive more investment and more tourism to the area, which is a great thing for our city.

“I love when a breath of new life is given to an old building and The Baltic Hotel owners have done exactly that, the music memorabilia and record players in the rooms give it a really authentic feel and it’s another fantastic offering for people visiting Liverpool.”

Town Hotels, which owns the new hotel and also operate Duke St Boutique Hotel, Chavasse Apartments and York Street Studios, was honoured to welcome Mayor Rotheram.

Duncan Stewart, operations director, says: “We were really proud to show the Metro Mayor around at The Baltic Hotel.

“It’s great to see someone in a position of political power giving their backing to a Liverpool business that was hit hard during the pandemic but has a very optimistic future and outlook.

“He was good fun and seemed to genuinely love the hotel, music memorabilia and what we are trying to do here so that was hugely positive too.”
