The Beatles-themed Hard Days Night hotel in Liverpool has given Millennium & Copthorne a much-needed boost.
The 110-room hotel, where luxury rooms include the McCartney and Lennon suites, was bought by M&C last August for £13.8million.
It yesterday said the popularity of the hotel, which is yards from the Cavern Club where the Beatles regularly performed in their early years, has helped offset weak trading elsewhere.

Revenues from its hotels fell 3 per cent to £165million in the first quarter of the year, while profits were down 5 per cent to £18million as hotels in New York, London and Singapore struggled.
M&C chairman Kwek Leng Beng said business has been hit by the growth of the ‘sharing economy’ through rivals such as Airbnb.
M&C shares fell 0.7 per cent, or 2.9p, to 435p.
