("easyHotel", the "Group")
Acquisition of building in Liverpool
easyHotel, the owner, developer, operator and franchisor of
"super budget" branded hotels, is pleased to announce it has
acquired a freehold office and restaurant at 47 Castle Street,
Liverpool, where it intends to convert the offices to an
easyHotel.
The property is located in the centre of Liverpool, three
minutes' walk from the Liverpool One shopping area and the Cavern
Club tourist attraction, around 10 minutes' walk from Liverpool's
main railway station and is also conveniently placed for visitors
to Albert Docks' galleries, shops and restaurants.
Subject to obtaining planning consent, the Group plans to
convert the four upper floors of the building into a 68-bedroom
easyHotel, which is expected to open in Spring 2016. The ground
floor of the building will remain a restaurant operated by a third
party. In total, the purchase of the building and conversion
project is expected to cost around GBP3m.
Simon Champion, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"This acquisition in the centre of Liverpool is fully in line
with our strategy to expand our owned hotel portfolio into targeted
major UK cities. It provides us with the opportunity to create a
centrally located hotel for leisure and business customers looking
for good quality accommodation at an affordable price.
Liverpool has substantial inbound tourism, with over half a
million visitors per annum, aided by recent inward investment and
one of the UK's busiest airports. This combined with domestic
demand means it is an attractive location for an easyHotel. "
