A new cinema is opening in Liverpool that you can book for your own private screening.
The boutique-look room is hidden away in Liverpool’s beautiful Hope Street Hotel.
The venue teased its secret new space on Instagram this week, and it looks like the perfect place for a post-lockdown night out.
With plush double seater sofas, exposed brick walls and a giant screen, we can’t wait to step inside and tuck into some popcorn.
The private cinema seats 40 and has its own dedicated bar and events space. It will be available for private hire and the hotel is also launching a film club for guests and the public.
It is Liverpool's first hotel cinema and is located on the first floor of Hope Street Hotel, in one of the 1851 wings of the original School for the Blind.
It preserves the beautiful original 1850s pitch pine beams, arched windows and Cheshire brick.
Dave Brewitt, Chief Executive of Hope Street Hotel, told the ECHO: "We are really looking forward to launching it, as soon as we are able to reopen the hotel and The London Carriage Works."
He added: "I am massively proud of Hope Street Hotel’s 15-year success and growth. We opened in 2004 as Liverpool’s first boutique hotel, restoring, converting and extending a derelict and redundant 1869 warehouse.
"This latest - and most ambitious - expansion is a tremendously complex project. Threading a new eight-storey building over, under and alongside the listed former School for the Blind, and linking it to the existing hotel has been a mammoth 3-D jigsaw. I am delighted to have been able to bring the 1851 and 1931 School buildings back into sustainable use."
The cinema is already getting an impressive reaction, with hundreds of people commenting on the hotel's Instagram post.
One said: “This looks beautiful. Looking forward to seeing it for real”, and another added: “Oh wow!!!! Looks amazing!”
