This hotel is now the Crowne Plaza Liverpool John Lennon Airport, having previously been a Mariott Hotel. However the building is more notable for having been the terminal building of Liverpool Speke Airport from the 1930s to 1986, and for its Art Deco features. Here the hotel is seen from the former airside apron of the airport. Both the central terminals and airside wings are original, and the terraces which featured in old newsreel footage of screaming fans welcoming home the Beatles can be seen. The plane was a prototype for the BAe Jetstream 41, and is now preserved by a local aviation group.
