Liverpool will always have a place in my heart as I met my partner there 16 years ago! Although we have not been for some years now, we thought it was about time we paid it a visit.
We decided to stay at the Titanic hotel (which was once a busy rum warehouse) as it not only had good reviews on Trip Advisor but looked fab with spacious rooms (starting at a staggering 56sqm of space) which overlook the Stanley dock and is within close distance to the city centre/Albert dock area (approx £4.00 taxi fare).
The Titanic Hotel
On arrival at the hotel, our first impressions were 'wow' as the building was amazing with original features and excellent decor and once again huge space. After checking into our rooms and leaving our luggage, we chose to eat in the hotel bar area overlooking the dock. The food was good bar food and was greatly accepted following a long drive.

After refuelling, we got a taxi to the city centre as typical-British weather would predict, it started to rain.
The city centre is better than I can recall with Liverpool One bringing new shops and restaurants. Although one coffee shop/bar I was keen to re-visit was Leaf on Bold street. Once again we were not disappointed as the tea/cake was to die for and the cocktails/drinks failed to disappoint.

We managed to find Brewdog (which was high on our agenda) with the help of the God send Google Maps!
On waking the next morning after a very substantial buffet style breakfast, overlooking the dock. We decided to visit the nearby Albert Dock as the Clothes Show was taking place there, as well as vintage markets, food stalls and the beloved Tate art gallery (which we enjoyed).
Before returning back to hotel for cocktails we ate at Byron Burger, what more can you want than great food and very friendly staff!

Through researching the beloved internet and friends recommendations, we chose to visit the Baltic Triangle before heading home, which consisted of interesting coffee shops/eateries although it still appeared to be under revamp (will make sure we re-visit next time).

We definitely enjoyed our weekend break in Liverpool and were really impressed with all of the improvements which have been made. I would certainly recommend the Titanic hotel which was fab and of course would recommend anyone who is planning a trip to Liverpool to stay there as you would not be disappointed (we certainly were not) .
~Hope you have enjoyed hearing about our lovely weekend~
