Plans in for Liverpool shipping container hotel
Branded Snoozebox, the 56-bed project is planned for a site located at the heart of Cains Brewery Village between Boxpark and Bongo’s Bingo for the next 15 years.
Plans from Portable Living Group have been submitted for a hotel made from 25 shipping containers that also features food and drink provision and an entertainment/music venue in retained buildings on the north of the Beaufort Street site in the Liverpool leisure district.
The hotel will provide “quality accommodation for tourists and business customers on a budget, with a particular focus on attracting millennials and young people”, according to planning documents submitted with the application by Halliday Fraser Munro
The moveable, demountable make-up of the scheme means it could be removed once the 15-year period for which planning is sought expires. The site is earmarked for a multi-storey car park in the original Cains Brewery Village masterplan.
Portable Living Group has also delivered hotels at the Eden Project in Cornwall and an 80-bed scheme for workers at Port Stanley on the Falkland Islands.
