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.

Sounds good “urban glamping” this will be popular, even more so once that Baltic Station gets built, the planning application went in late last year,over 4 months ago, but not surprisingly it’s still to come before committee.
