The Municipal Hotel & Spa: Where Liverpool’s Civic Heritage meets Luxury Living

MGallery’s landmark hotel offers a high style escape just 45 minutes from Cheshire.
If you’re seeking a stylish city break with historic flair, The Municipal Hotel & Spa in Liverpool might be your perfect weekend antidote. Once the heart of Liverpool’s civic power, this 1868 landmark now blends Victorian elegance with five-star modernity.
Guests are welcomed into an atmosphere of grandeur: marble corridors, arched ceilings, and a staircase that sweeps into the heart of the Palm Court Bar. Velvet chairs and ambient lighting offer the perfect spot for a pre-dinner cocktail.
Rooms are quietly luxurious – think soft navy palettes, rainfall showers, and city views. Families will appreciate the interconnecting options, while couples can unwind in the tranquil subterranean spa.

Dining is as refined as the decor: the Seaforth Restaurant champions modern British fare, with an amazing four-course Tasting Menu, and the Botanic Lounge serves one of the finest Afternoon Teas on Merseyside.
For Glossy readers, this hotel offers the sweet spot: no flights, just forty-five minutes to urban calm. Liverpool’s culture, music and shopping are on your doorstep – but you may not want to leave the spa.
