The city centre is compact and easy to get around, and you will find plenty to see and do close to your accommodation in Liverpool. Alternatively, Merseytravel provides a great network of bus and train services which put the entire city and greater Mersey area within easy reach of your Liverpool accommodation.

Liverpool's economy has historically been connected to the port, however in recent years there has been also a great deal of growth in the services sector and in technology- the city has a relatively large computer game development community. Serviced Liverpool accommodation is ideal for the needs of corporate travellers, as it provides a great place to work as well as rest.

From your Liverpool accommodation, you'll be ideally placed to explore all the attractions of the city. Many are, naturally, connected to the most famous sons of the city, The Beatles. From the famous Cavern Club to the Magical Mystery Tour, everything you ever needed to know about the Beatles is on show here. There are also fascinating historical sights, including a diverse range of museums, to explore the long history of the city. Of course, if shopping is your preferred pleasure, the city has a great range of shops and boutiques, including the modern Liverpool One development, all within easy reach of your accommodation in Liverpool.
