The Eccleston Hotel, BW Signature Collection

On Prescot Road in St Helens, The Eccleston Hotel makes an easy, sociable base whether you are in town for business or pleasure. The appeal here is in the gathering places: a smartly styled restaurant, an elegant cocktail lounge and the Steve Prescott Lounge, where you can catch the game over a drink in a town that lives and breathes its rugby league. The rooms are comfortable and modern, and there is a terrace and garden for fairer days. The location keeps things simple, a short hop from the town centre and its Theatre Royal, with easy reach of the wider Merseyside region and Liverpool beyond. Ample on-site parking adds to the hotel's practicality. St Helens wears its sporting heritage proudly, and the lounge named after the much-loved rugby league player Steve Prescott reflects that local connection. Time a visit to coincide with a home game at the nearby Totally Wicked Stadium and you'll experience the atmosphere firsthand, as supporters gather across the town ahead of kick-off.
