UK: A 250-key hotel and serviced apartment scheme will form the next phase of development at Liverpool’s Paddington Village.
Liverpool City Council says it has shortlisted three leading hotel companies – Accor, Hilton and IHG – to deliver the Knowledge Quarter project. A decision on the preferred operator and design is expected in late summer 2018.
The council says the creation of the mixed-use Paddington Village community will transform the former site of Archbishop Blanch School and forms part of the city’s wider multi-billion pound Knowledge Quarter regeneration. Elsewhere in the Knowledge Quarter, it has been announced that the new £35 million northern headquarters of the Royal College of Physicians will be known officially as The Spine.
