The Hard Days Night Hotel has 110 rooms set in the heart of the "Beatles Quarter" in the city of their birth. It's situated a stone's throw from the Cavern Club, where it all began for the Fab Four.
The four star boutique establishment has two luxury "Lennon" and "McCartney" suites. The Lennon room is all in white, featuring a white baby grand piano and giant pictures of John Lennon. The McCartney suite contains no leather in recognition of Macca's celebrity vegetarian status and has a suit of armor on display, a nod to Sir Paul's knighthood.
If you want to ask your partner to Love Me Do, you can even get married in the hotel's wedding chapel.
The Grade II-listed building features specially commissioned artwork from American airbrush artist, Shannon, in every room. The pictures depict the story of the Beatles from the basement through to the roof in chronological order.
A room costs anywhere between $370 a night to a massive $1,413 for either of the Lennon and McCartney suites.
On its debut weekend the Hard Days Night Hotel was fully booked.
"The phones haven't stopped ringing. Interest has come as far afield as Croatia, Russia, Japan, obviously America and there's been huge interest from Brazil even," said hotel spokesman Johnny Lockwood.
Day trippers are not excluded from the Beatles experience, as the two restaurants will be open to non-residents. But you'd better be a fan of Beatles music as both The Brasserie and Blakes restaurants will play nothing other than Beatles hits every evening.
The hotel opening on Friday, February 1 coincided with Liverpool being the 2008 European Capital of Culture.
