Is the Shankly Hotel closed?

The Shankly Hotel is currently open for business.

It was forced to close during lockdown due to government restrictions put in place.

While the business behind the hotel has recently fallen into administration, the owners - Lawrence and Katie Kenwright - vowed it will continue to host guests as usual.

In a statement on their Facebook page, they said: "Signature Living Hotel Limited (In Administration) is the holding company of the wider Signature Group. It is not responsible for the day to day operation of the hotels and residential developments.
