Dalata, the country’s biggest hotel group, has opened a new hotel in Liverpool city centre as part of its expansion plans. The new facility will create 75 jobs.
The four-star Maldron Hotel Liverpool is in the central location of Park Lane, a four-minute walk from Liverpool city centre and a 15-minute walk from Lime Street Station.
This is Dalata’s 55th hotel and is one of four new hotels the group is opening in the UK. The group will open hotels in Shoreditch in London and Brighton over the next number of months, and in Edinburgh in 2026. It will also open a new hotel near Croke Park in 2026.
Kirsty Monington, general manager of the Liverpool hotel, said it was ideal for the corporate traveller as it was only eight miles from Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport.
The hotel was designed with sustainability credentials that would put it in the top 10 per cent of new non-domestic buildings in the UK, the group said.
Dalata Hotel Group chief executive Dermot Crowley said the group was delighted to open a new hotel in a city with such strong Irish connections and “Liverpool was a key city for us as part of our expansion strategy”.
He said the group was targeting big cities in the UK and cited the “strong weekend business” in Liverpool.
Dalata was founded in Ireland in 2008 and operates across Ireland, UK and Europe.
