It started with the vision and ambition of Dave Brewitt (owner and CEO), a local resident since 1981. He bought a semi-derelict Victorian warehouse on Hope Street in 2000, that for many years had been a furniture store. With his team, Dave rebuilt and refurbished the building, creating the original 48-bedroom Hope Street Hotel and 60-cover The London Carriage Works restaurant. During renovation the original name of the 1860s warehouse – The London Carriage Works – was revealed above the front door. It became the restaurant’s name in homage to the building’s history.
Hope Street Hotel has kept expanding and innovating with two major extensions in 2009 and 2021 and now includes 149 bedrooms, two restaurants, a private 39-seat cinema, nine event spaces, and a multi-award-winning spa.
The first expansion, integrating the adjacent 1970s police station, doubled the number of bedrooms and created a new front door and reception. The most recent project has extended into and built upon the adjacent 1931 Grade II-listed premises, originally The Royal School for the Blind, seamlessly combining some of Liverpool’s finest old buildings with a contemporary guest experience. A complex build, it has brought together buildings from four different eras and over four different footprints. The whole development was undertaken whilst keeping the hotel open.
Hope Street Hotel seamlessly blends city chic with the charm of the historic buildings’ original features, showcasing pink Cheshire brick, iron pillars, and pitch pine beams. The light-filled reception area includes solid oak floors and mid-century furniture. Original artworks by Liverpool artist Adrian Henri hang in The London Carriage Works and in the reception.
