The Nadler
Liverpool is the most recent incarnation of this 19th-century
warehouse, and sympathetic renovation has retained much of its historic
industrial flavor. The 106 rooms at this upscale property are smart and very 21st century, however, with impressive kitchenettes and the odd unexpected touch of luxury, as well as original timber trusses in some. The lack
of bar or restaurant gives a bit of an unsociable feel to the place, though the
location is great for hitting Liverpool's trendiest bars and eateries. It's slightly more popular -- and a tiny bit cheaper -- than the nearby Staycity Serviced Apartments, but Staycity's units all have fully equipped kitchens and separate lounge areas.

Scene
Piece of Liverpool's industrial past reborn as chic and arty space
Dating back to
the mid-19th century, the building that houses The Nadler Liverpool represents
a genuine piece of the city's industrial history. Originally owned by the
famous Vickers steel engineers, it has played the role of printers, cork
warehouse, and beeswax traders, until falling abandoned in the 1970s. A pricey renovation in 2008, however, transformed a derelict redbrick warehouse into
this über-cool and arty hotel awash with post-industrial chic and contemporary
edge. Much emphasis has been placed on retaining and even featuring original
architectural elements, including 19th-century timber roof trusses, swathes of
exposed brick, and numerous iron girders. In an effort to keep things simple
and streamlined, the only public space is a smart and spacious lobby lounge --
though it's not really a place to hang out. With no bar or restaurant there's
little in the way of mingling opportunities between the generally younger,
trend-conscious visitors who populate the hotel.
Location
Set on one of the UK trendiest streets 10 minutes' walk from the center
Part of the
Ropewalk district, the immediate area looks little drab during the day, however
the road the hotel occupies -- Seel Street -- was voted one of the hippest in
the UK and is home to some of the city's coolest bars, restaurants, and clubs. Lively
Chinatown, said to be the oldest in Europe, is about half-mile away, while
the bustle of the city center -- including the famous Cavern Club -- is about
10 minutes on foot in the other direction. It's also a five-minutes' walk to Liverpool Central train station, while the rejuvenated docks district --
with the Echo Arena, Tate Liverpool, and Beatles Story museum -- is under 15
minutes on foot.
Rooms
Smart, contemporary styling with kitchenettes, good tech, and luxury touches
The hotel's 106
rooms are spread over six floors and are all impeccably presented in smart,
contemporary, and largely monochrome styling. Original art and paintings spruce up each
room, while some make a feature of the building's original trusses. Rooms are
particularly tech-friendly offering HD TVs with free music, games, and an
interactive directory, while also acting as routers offering free Wi-Fi. All
room also have tiny kitchen areas, with sinks, kettles, microwaves, and mini-fridges, and
groceries can be ordered without mark-up. A pillow menu and Gilchrist &
Soames toiletries are surprisingly luxurious touches, while triple-glazed windows keep out exterior noise -- however this means they don't open.
Features
Room service, groceries, and breakfast with gourmet option
Most of the
amenities and features of the hotel have been crammed into the room, and there is no
bar or restaurant on-site. A continental breakfast can be ordered up to the
room -- for a fee, with a gourmet option slightly higher -- while a range of
groceries can be ordered up too, without surcharge. The hotel concierge can also recommend local eateries with take-out, and place orders for guests. Guests also receive
discounts on many of the surrounding eateries. Wi-Fi is free, though there's a surcharge for very fast Broadband access. Discounted parking is available nearby.
