The Hilton Liverpool Hotel is seen as one of Liverpool’s finest new buildings of significant architectural merit. The existing building’s elegance is achieved by a gently curved facade that faces onto the principle route into Liverpool 1 from Albert Docks – Thomas Steers Way.
The proposed ‘Grace Suite’ extension will maintain the same radial set out as the existing building in order to minimise the impact on the strong structured order of the podium colonnade. At first floor level, extruded bay window forms project through the radial columns in a manner that will complement the bold modelling and architectural language of the existing facades. The full glazed frontage to the ground floor restaurant is set back behind the main columns and this will further enhance and emphasise the impression of the first floor accommodation floating above.
