The ARC Hotel
Redbrick rooms with an LFC-themed bar near the ground
About this hotel
The ARC Hotel occupies a warm redbrick building with relaxed rooms and, more to the point for a matchday stay, a Liverpool FC-themed lounge and bar that fills up long before kickoff. Free Wi-Fi and air conditioning cover the practical side, while the on-site restaurant means dinner does not depend on finding a table somewhere crowded after the final whistle. The seven-minute walk to Anfield is short enough to leave with time to spare and still make the turnstiles comfortably, and Kims Anfield Supper Bar, a minute away, is the fallback if the hotel restaurant is full. Everything about the layout points at fans arriving on foot and returning the same way once the match ends.
- LFC-themed bar
- On-site restaurant
- Seven minutes to Anfield
- Air conditioning
Our take
Supporters who want the matchday build-up to start in the hotel itself, not just end there, will enjoy the themed lounge and the short walk that follows. It suits fans travelling without a car who plan to eat on-site or nearby rather than venture further into the city. Away fans should be aware the lounge leans firmly toward the home crowd.
- Get to the LFC-themed lounge early on a big match, it fills up fast
- Book the on-site restaurant ahead rather than risk a queue after the final whistle
- Walk rather than drive, the seven minutes on foot beats parking near the ground
Why we love it
- Liverpool FC-themed lounge and bar
- On-site restaurant for after the match
- Air conditioning throughout
- Seven-minute walk to Anfield
Why guests love itThe themed lounge set the tone before we had even left for the ground, with the pre-match build-up already under way over a drink. Walking to Anfield from here took exactly as long as billed, and coming back to a proper restaurant meal rather than hunting for somewhere open was the best part of the evening. Kims Anfield Supper Bar next door is a solid backup if the hotel is full.
