Building work has just started on refurbishing the Municipal Building on Liverpool's Dale Street. Over the next two years the Grade II-listed former council offices will be converted into a 179-bedroom four-star hotel.
The new hotel will feature a restaurant and bar in the building’s atrium. It will also include leisure facilities and a range of meeting rooms throughout.
The Municipal Building dates back to 1868 and was home to Liverpool City Council from its completion until the authority moved out in 2017.
The new hotel will be operated by the Fragrance Group.
