A plan for 175-bed hotel and casino has been given the go-ahead by Liverpool Council
A £25m plan to convert a historic former department store building in the heart of Liverpool city centre has been given the go-ahead.
Back in 2019, the city council approved a similar application subject to the signing of a legal agreement. As that has now expired, the building has been mostly empty since the business left. Applicant Richard Gee told the committee how the plans would include a sky bar and restaurant on site, with developers Landlab transforming the historic former department store into a designer hotel under the Accor Mama Shelter brand, making it the first of its kind outside London.
George Henry Lee opened his first shop in Basnett Street in 1853 and the business eventually grew into one of the north's top department stores, with a striking building to match. It was bought by John Lewis in 1940.
