BACKGROUND Opened in May 2023, just in time for the Eurovision Song Contest, the new MGallery is Liverpool's first and only five-star hotel. It is also the UK's sole MGallery property, a collection by Accor renowned for a design-conscious approach.

The property is located in a Grade II* listed building, which formerly housed the offices of Liverpool City Council. It was purchased in 2017 by Singaporean developer Fragrance Group and has been refurbished with design by Falconer Chester Hall architects and Manchester's Koncept ID doing the interiors.

WHERE IS IT? Situated on Dale Street near the Liver Building, trendy Ropewalks district, Liverpool Waterfront and the Cavern Quarter. The closest underground station is Moorfields, which is a couple of minutes' walk away, and it's also less than ten minutes' walk to Liverpool Lime Street.
