We All Stay At The Yellow Submarine Hotel, The Yellow Submarine Hotel
We've been so busy keeping up with Olympics-related London hotels that we've sadly neglected to keep up with our other favorite British pastime: Beatles hotels!
And this one's a goodie. Described by the Daily Mail as an "eccentric businessman," UK-based Alfie Bubbles has purchased an old narrowboat and transformed it into a psychedelic, fully-functional 3-bedroom hotel that's inspired by, and remains faithful to, the Beatles' original yellow submarine.

Tune Hotels Will Honor The Beatles With Liverpool Hotel, Edinburgh On The Way
Despite just having opened a new branch on Liverpool Street last week, Tune Hotels is now aiming for yet another two new hotels in London between now and the start of the Olympics. And don't think they'll be taking a break after that, either. Oh no. CEO Mark Lankester told The Star that though the Olympics is good for business, "we are in [it] for the long term."
What this means is rapid expansion throughout the rest of the UK. And now we've gotten a few more details on the upcoming hotels, the first of which Lankester confirmed would pop up in Edinburgh and Liverpool (the city, not the London street) by 2013. And just to throw in a little extra excitement, he added: "With a name like Tune Hotels, we have to have one in the birthplace of the Beatles."

Inside a Regular Room and All Around Liverpool's Beatles-Theme Hard Day's Night Hotel
Chances are, if you're heading to Liverpool to take in the Beatles and pop music history of the city, the Hard Day's Night Hotel is on your list of must-sleeps or at least must-sees. You almost can't avoid it, since the hotel sits at the entrance to the famous "Cavern Quarter," down which alley-like street you'll find the various underground music clubs that nurtured the young Beatles, The Who, and basically name any famous British musician from the 1950s through 1970s.
We've already given you a full look around the hotel's Paul McCartney suite and a peek at room service, but downstairs there's so much more going on. The HDN isn't just a hotel with a slight glaze of Beatles theme; the fab four are baked into the place, with priceless artwork at every turn and design flair that keeps it far away from looking anything like a Hilton or Marriott.

Come Together at the Closest Hotel to Liverpool's 'Beatles Story' Museum
If you're an American traveling up to Liverpool, there's a pretty healthy chance that at least a portion of the trip is going to be The Beatles-related. And you know what? That's perfectly okay. There's pop music history all over the place in that city and they embrace it quite well, partially evidenced in the existence of The Beatles Story museum at Albert Dock.
And, if you're really serious about hitting all The Beatles hot spots, you'll probably either be staying at the Beatles-themed Hard Day's Night Hotel or as close to The Beatles Story experience as possible. For the latter, that means the Premier Inn Albert Dock.

What Would Ringo Order from Room Service?
The answer: not this! Despite the fact that both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are vegetarians, the Liverpool Beatles-themed Hard Day's Night Hotel proudly features the "Hard Day's Night Burger" on their room service menu, ringing up at a cool 13.75 GBP. That, with the current exchange rate, is a $22.18 burger, a cost made up for by the giant potato wedges qualifying as gourmet chips on the side.
If it weren't for Ringo's history of stomach issues, maybe he would have ordered it. But you know what? We're still sticking with not, since the hotel features a Lennon Suite and a McCartney Suite, but no Starr Suite...yet.

Inside the Paul McCartney Suite at Liverpool's Hard Day's Night Hotel
It's a music fan's dream to make The Beatles pilgrimage to the English town of Liverpool, and experience not only the famous Cavern Club (where the Fab Four played some 292 times!), but The Beatles Story exhibit and maybe...just maybe...the entire Beatles-themed Hard Day's Night Hotel.
The Hard Day's Night, or HDN as we'll call it for short, is an extremely new hotel for the area—opened in 2008—situated in a striking historical building with a serious presence in the Cavern district. Every bit of the hotel is named for something Beatles-related; there's Blake's Restaurant (for Sir Peter Blake, illustrator of the Sergeant Pepper album cover), Bar Four (for the Fab Four themselves), and the Paul McCartney Suite. This weekend, we stepped into the latter for a look around and emerged with an old fashioned case of Beatlesmania.

Hotel Indigo Liverpool Will Open 8 July But Don't Expect a Beatles Theme
It'll take a few hard day's nights of work to get this finished in time
Hotel Indigo is on a roll this year with no fewer than 57 hotels in the works, but this week we’re focusing on what to expect from the two UK properties opening this summer, the Hotel Indigo Liverpool, scheduled to open July 8 (pushed back from an original Spring opening), and Glasgow, down for May 2. Today: Liverpool.
If you haven’t been to Liverpool, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Although we’d like to say it’s not all about the Beatles, that’d be a lie – the city is totally all about the Beatles. But it also has stately architecture, a thriving nightlife scene, and an outpost of London’s wonderful Tate art gallery (currently hosting a modern sculpture exhibition).
It’s also up there with Newcastle on the friendliest locals in Britain list, and there is, of course, an epic ferry in which to cross the Mersey.
The Indigo will be located on Chapel Street, half a mile from the Albert Docks (the most tourist-friendly part of Liverpool, with the Tate, Beatles Story, and plenty of bars, restaurants and shops, all on the waterfront in renovated dock buildings). And if that sounds a lot, fear not – it’s only a five minute walk from the Mersey ferry terminal, and about seven minutes to North John Street, home to the Cavern Club, Hard Day's Night Hotel, and 50,000 Beatles fans at any one time.

Base2stay Liverpool May Not Have Opening Windows But The Colors Look Nice
A deluxe room
If you’re wanting to go to Liverpool and do your Beatles homage on a budget, there hasn’t been much choice until now (and even the posh Hard Day’s Night hotel, when we stayed there, seemed to be falling apart). But now, it looks like things could have changed, thanks to the stealth opening of Base2stay.
The sister property of Base2stay Kensington (along the same lines as MyHotels), B2S Liverpool opened without a fanfare in the Ropewalks area back in August, and it’s only now that the Guardian has got around to reviewing it.
Rooms start at £65 for a single, £75 double, which isn’t bad at all – although rates don’t include breakfast.

The Hard Day's Night Hotel is 'Under the Sea' as Flood Forces Closure
We hope the Hard Day's Night Hotel, The Beatles themed hotel in Liverpool, is keeping "warm below the storm" now that a flood has forced the hotel to close down for a few days. Er...maybe that should be "warm above the storm."
According to Click Liverpool, a leaking pipe burst in the basement yesterday, flooding the space where the hotel's power supply is located with hot water.
Guests had to be moved out of the luxury hotel but managements says they hope to reopen again on New Year's Eve. A message on their website apologized for the inconvenience and that guests with bookings for tonight and tomorrow should get in touch with the hotel, if they haven't been contacted already.
If you're looking to stay there on New Year's Eve however, you're out of luck as the hotel is sold-out.

The Hard Day's Night Hotel Still Has Rooms Open on 9-9-09
You may be asking yourself: Hey, HotelChatter have you gone all sixes and sevens? Why should we care that the Hard Days Night Hotel has rooms open on 9-9-09? Wot's that got to do with anything, guv'ner?
Ok, lame attempts at cockney slang aside, you might really be confused about rooms being open on this date but 9-9-09 is the day that the Beatles Rockband comes out as well as when the Beatles remastered albums will be released.
If you haven't been watching VH1 during bouts of insomnia like we have, then we can't fault you for not knowing that 9-9-09 is like an Apple Scruff's judgment day. But if you're looking to celebrate the Beatles in Liverpool, you're in luck.

The Hard Days Night Hotel For the New Liverpool Music Festival
Here’s a confession: we haven’t heard of Liverpool SoundCity music festival before, and we’ve had enough already of all the spurious tiny festivals cropping up in the UK and Europe to part us with our summer cash. So based on name and circumstance alone, we're not inclined to go.
However, we have heard of The Zutons, White Lies, Arctic Monkeys and Little Boots. And we’ve definitely heard of Babyshambles (with crackhead Pete Doherty as the lead singer.) So we’re swiftly packing away our skepticism.
If you're like us and are considering a night in Liverpool for the Liverpool SoundCity festival, it's taking place at 30 venues across the city from May 20-23 this year. The Zutons are the headliners, closing the festival with a performance at the rather splendid Victorian St George’s Hall. Not even the hometown legends, The Beatles got to play there.
Speaking of The Beatles, you can’t go to Liverpool without at least a nod to the fab four. You need to stay in the Hard Days Night hotel, which has a reassuring greatest hits album playing all day long. A deluxe double for two people is currently available on May 20 for £250.00 a night.
