Radisson RED opened the ten-storey house in December 2022, the first RED in the north of England: 201 rooms, some facing St George's Hall. The sandstone stair is the old one. Its handrail runs 94 metres.

History
The North Western Hall, later called Lime Street Chambers, was designed by Alfred Waterhouse and opened in 1871 as a railway hotel connected to Lime Street station. From the 1930s it was largely unused, with a spell as student accommodation in the 1990s. Radisson RED opened the Grade II building in December 2022, after a restoration that kept the sandstone stair, a stained-glass window, and the turrets. 201 rooms on ten floors. The restaurant is Stoke.
The setting
7 Lime Street, at the station door, with St George's Hall across the street. Turn right out of Lime Street and the hotel is there. The old north-docks tag does not fit this address.
