Baltic Hotel under new management as Countrywide Hotels takes control

Countrywide Hotels has taken over the running of the Baltic Hotel, situated in Liverpool’s independent, creative and digital district, the Baltic Triangle.

General Manager, Paul Wadsworth, with 20 years of hospitality management, has joined to lead the Baltic Hotel in 2024 and beyond.

Paul said: “I’m excited to get going at The Baltic Hotel. We’re in an exciting and cool part of the city, and I really hope to be working closely with other local businesses and venues to help promote the wider area of the Baltic Triangle.

“As it says on the website, we are a colourful retreat for all those who want to immerse themselves in Liverpool. We’re excited to offer a memorable stay on your trip to this wonderful city.” 

Darren Patt, Managing Director of Countrywide Hotels, based in Newton Abbot, Devon, said: “The Baltic Hotel in Liverpool is a fantastic addition to the Countrywide Hotels portfolio.

“Bringing something completely different to our collection, the hotel brings to life the musical culture that Liverpool and the Baltic Triangle have to offer. We’re excited to see Paul and the business go from strength to strength.”

Set within the Baltic Triangle, on the edge of the historic Albert Dock, The Baltic Hotel features 52 bedrooms, all designed with a unique mix of style, comfort, soul and trendy vibe.

Each room follows a musical theme. The hotel also features the popular Duck and Swagger pub, hosting a variety of events, from pub quizzes to drag shows.

The Baltic Hotel was opened in a former factory and warehouse in July 2021, by Town Hotels, led by managing director Kevin Doran, following a £7m investment.

Town Hotels, the hospitality division of Liverpool-based property development company Living Brick, opened two new hotels in 2021, after building through the Covid-19 pandemic.

The company opened the £4.2m 30-bedroom Duke Street Hotel in May, 2021, followed by The Baltic Hotel two months later.
