Opening of Dixie Dean Hotel to Create ‘Football Quarter’ in Liverpool
The opening of Signature Living’s Dixie Dean hotel in Liverpool will see the creation of what the company describes as a “football quarter” in the city.
The first phase of the 100-bedroom hotel’s launch will see its No9 restaurant open in May, joining sister hotel the Shankly opposite.
The Dixie Dean is named after the former Everton football player, with the restaurant name referring to Dean’s shirt number, while the Shankly commemorates former Liverpool FC manager Bill Shankly. Life-size bronze statues of the pair will be positioned outside of both hotels.
THPT Comment – Lawrence Kenwright keeps ’em coming – this is his xxth hotel since opening their first hotel in 2008. He also has a unique funding proposition for investors.
