LIVERPOOL HOTEL REFURBISHMENT

Over the past year the new group, Lord Nelson Liverpool Ltd, has undertaken an extensive refurbishment programme at the hotel on Hotham Street opposite Liverpool’s Lime Street station, transforming it into a contemporary boutique 52-bedroom hotel, complete with a restaurant, residents’ bar and the Dugout Bar, open to residents and the public.

Originally a commercial hotel, the Lord Nelson had been providing accommodation to visitors to Liverpool for more than 30 years, but was in need of renovation when it was acquired by Lord Nelson Liverpool Ltd in January 2005. The company set about a programme of works to update the hotel creating a modern, boutique hotel offering affordable, stylish rooms right in the city centre.

Initial works were completed in April 2005 with one floor of the hotel opening, but the company needed additional funding to finish off the project. Keen to keep to the redevelopment schedule, they approached Business Assistance. After assessing the hotel’s open market value, Business Assistance was able to arrange the £425,000 needed to complete the refurbishment of the remaining two floors of the hotel and renovate the residents bar and the Dugout Bar.

The Lord Nelson Hotel has now been completely revamped with a new reception area, new lighting, carpeting and windows throughout and new bathrooms and fixtures and fittings in every bedroom.

Chris White, director of Lord Nelson Liverpool Ltd explained: “It was crucial that we got the final elements of our renovation work on the hotel completed and that’s where Business Assistance came in. They were able to arrange funding within a matter of days and the deal was concluded and the funds made available allowing us to complete the project.”
