Britannia Adelphi Hotel, Art Nouveau hotel in Liverpool, England
The Britannia Adelphi Hotel is a building with Art Nouveau elements on Ranelagh Place in Liverpool. The Portland stone facade extends across eleven entrance sections with classical columns and seven floors.
The current hotel opened in 1914 as the third establishment on this site and replaced two earlier buildings dating back to 1826. James Radley had converted townhouses into an inn at that time.
The building's name recalls its long role as a stopping point for transatlantic travelers departing from Liverpool to America. Today visitors use the public rooms and halls to attend social events or meet in the spacious lobbies.
The rooms are spread across multiple floors and each offers its own bathroom. The entrance with its columns is clearly visible from the square.
The original basement housed heated tanks that kept live turtles for preparing fresh turtle soup. This equipment reflects the elevated dining expectations of guests in the early 20th century.
