UK: Operator Líbere Hospitality Group has signed its second UK property, housed in the Grade II-listed Coopers Building in Liverpool.
Located at 10-16 Church Street, the Coopers Building was designed in 1914 by architect Gerald de Courcy Fraser. The building, originally home to the Coopers & Co department store until its closure in 1972, has since been used as retail and offices.
The site will now undergo a renovation, retaining mosaic tiled floors, coffered ceilings, cornices, glazed wall tiles, and timber block flooring. Additional work includes a new roof covering, facade restoration, window replacements, and internal strip outs.
When complete, Líbere Liverpool Coopers Building will offer 148 studios; 141 will provide kitchenettes and seven with coffee stations.

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