2. Crowne Plaza Liverpool – John Lennon Airport by IHG






The Vibe
A 4-star Art Deco stunner — this WAS the original Speke Airport terminal, repurposed into a hotel. Guests rave about the “unique way” the historic space is highlighted. Staff score 8.9, the highest in this airport-adjacent list for service. A taxi ride from the terminal is quick, or there’s a bus stop out front to Liverpool city centre.

Key collection happens after full payment — guests receive instructions, and late check-in after 8 PM may cost extra. Pets not allowed, and groups booking over 3 rooms have different policies. The bus stop outside goes to Liverpool city centre in 10 minutes, making it convenient if you want to explore before your flight.
Choose this if: You’re on a tight budget and need free parking for the duration of your trip.
