LIVERPOOL HOTELS UPDATE-January 2018 - Regenerating Liverpool
Foreword
2017 has been another outstanding year for Liverpool’s hotel sector.
Yet again, despite more hotel rooms and serviced apartments
opening here, occupancy levels have continued to rise. Weekend
occupancy figures in eight out the first 11 months of the year were
above an average 90%, some 4% higher than were being achieved
in 2008 when we had less hotels than we do today. What is also
significant is that room revenues have also risen by just over 10% this
year, peaking at £106.64 in April, our traditionally highest scoring
month.

As always, culture is one of the key elements that we support in
order to bring visitors into the city. We have continued the legacy
of being a major Cultural City with yet another outstanding list of
events having been held in 2017 – and that will continue into 2018
as we celebrate ten years since Liverpool was Europe’s Capital of
Culture.

Exciting projects for 2018 have been announced including China’s
First Emperor and the Terracotta Warriors – coming to the UK for the
first time in a generation; the Three Festivals Tall Ships Regatta linking
Liverpool, Dublin and Bordeaux; the finale of the Clipper Around the
World Yacht Race; Tate Liverpool’s 30th anniversary; Liverpool
Biennial’s 10th edition presenting leading visual artists from across
the world; and Rewire – a major new art and technology
commission led by FACT with Invisible Flock, working with artists from
across the globe and communities in Toxteth and Dingle.

Alongside these, Liverpool 2018 will also showcase premieres across
the worlds of entertainment and sport, new major public artworks,
some extraordinary one-off music moments and four artistic seasons
each bursting with new commissions exploring China Dream –
showcasing the best of modern Chinese culture; The Future World of
Work; the Art of Football ; and Nineteen Eighteen – the centenary of
the end of the First World War.

The city’s unrivalled festival offer – from Africa Oye and Liverpool
International Music Festival right through to Milapfest – will mark the
year with some of their most ambitious line ups ever, while brand
new music events – including a piano festival like no other – will
reinforce Liverpool’s position as a UNESCO City of Music. To find out
more about our cultural programme for this year, please visit
www.visitliverpool.com/2018.

Our reputation for providing such a wealth of attractions – boosted
by our 2018 cultural programme – has led to Liverpool being named
one of the top holiday destinations in the world during 2018 by The
Guardian newspaper. This can only be good news for our hospitality
sector.

Please enjoy reading about what has been achieved in 2017, and
about our plans and aspirations for the year ahead.

Assistant Mayor and Cabinet Member for Culture,
Tourism and Events

the local press). This is sometimes to enable them to market and sell sites or buildings with permission for a hotel even though they
are not necessarily planning to build one. Proposed schemes with operators signed up are often more likely to proceed.
