The property is housed in Liverpool’s historic grade II listed Royal Insurance Building, which has recently undergone an £18m renovation project.
The development was led by Ashall Property who worked alongside Liverpool City Council and English Heritage to transform the building into a hotel. It will be managed by Redefine | BDL hotels, a UK-based hotel management company.
Starwood’s UK & Ireland area manager Colin Bennett said: "Aloft is enjoying tremendous global growth fuelled by the enthusiasm of travellers who want great design and a fresh, fun atmosphere.
