Hamburg/Liverpool. Under new ownership since the beginning of May: the hotel "30 James Street" in Liverpool was purchased by the international hotel operator RIMC Hotels & Resorts, headquartered in Hamburg, effective May 4, 2023. Real estate consultancy Savills, on behalf of manager Moorfields Advisory, successfully completed the sale of the building in the heart of Liverpool city center.

One of the city's most iconic hotels
In the future, the independent hotel operating company, RIMC Hotels & Resorts Group, will operate the hotel known as the "Home of the Titanic." Once the headquarters of the White Star Shipping Line, with a long history and tradition, the hotel now features 63 spacious rooms and the seventh-floor Carpathia Rooftop Restaurant & Bar, with stunning views of the Mersey River and Liverpool Waterfront from the outdoor terrace.

In addition, there is the historic hall (formerly the Check In Hall for the ship's passengers) which is now used for events. Especially for weddings this room is an absolute hot spot. The hotel's offerings are complemented by the hotel's own spa area with indoor pool, saunas and treatment rooms.

The property is in a prime, central location in Liverpool city center, offering easy access to some of the city's most visited attractions, including the Royal Albert Docks, Liverpool ONE, the Museum of Liverpool and Tate Liverpool.
