King Edward Triangle five-star hotel tower — operator not yet announced

A five-star hotel is planned within King Edward Triangle, a roughly £1 billion masterplan for Liverpool's northern waterfront that would also deliver close to 3,000 homes. Developer KEIE, part of the TJ Morris (Home Bargains) group, secured council approval in February 2026 for the scheme's first, residential-led pathfinder building, but the hotel component itself had not reached a planning application stage as of the most recent reporting found, with no operator, room count or opening date confirmed.

The place

The scheme sits on Great Howard Street on Liverpool's northern waterfront, bridging the city centre, Liverpool Waters and the North Docks, near the Hill Dickinson Stadium and the emerging Central Docks and Liverpool Waters developments.

The concept

King Edward Triangle is a roughly £1 billion, residential-led masterplan promoted by KEIE (part of the TJ Morris group behind Home Bargains) in partnership with Beetham, planned to deliver close to 3,000 homes across a cluster of high-rise buildings, alongside a number of new hotels — including a five-star property — and a potential events arena. Liverpool City Council's planning committee approved the scheme's 'pathfinder' building on February 17, 2026: a 28-storey, residential-led tower intended to unlock investment and site readiness for the wider masterplan, with construction expected to begin later in 2026 subject to a legal agreement and site preparation. The hotel component itself remains well behind that pathfinder building in the planning process — a planning application for it had not been submitted as of the most recent reporting found, and further detailed applications across the site are expected only through the course of 2026, with delivery phased into the early 2030s. Local officials have described the completed scheme as a chance to reshape a long-underused stretch of waterfront and improve connectivity between the docks, the city centre and emerging destinations nearby.
