LFC legend Jamie Carragher officially opens The Sandon Hotel

Liverpool FC legend Jamie Carragher officially opened The Sandon Hotel.

The hotel is a new addition to the popular Sandon Pub which is an official LFC hospitality partner for its outstanding service. The pub welcomes over 5,000 match goers and football supporters each time the Reds play at home.

Steeped in history, The Sandon was built in 1870 and has become renowned with LFC fans due to it being just a stone’s throw from the ground.

The former Liverpool defender marked the opening of the hotel alongside owner Kate Stewart and Director of Business Development John Connolly, ahead of the second leg of Liverpool FC’s Champion’s League semi-final against FC Barcelona.

The 115-bed hotel is an extension of popular Anfield pub The Sandon and will become the most in-demand football related hotel.

Owner Kate Stewart took over the pub back in 2017 and invested £100,000 in refurbishment, improving the suites for the match hospitality. She has since invested £1 million into its extension, creating a place for those visiting to stay and offering them a convenient and comfortable hotel that is packed with signed memorabilia.

Miss Stewart has created 15 new jobs for local people, and chose to use only local businesses for the build, combined with locally sourced materials - all of which she is incredibly passionate about.

The hotel has been tastefully designed with Liverpool Football club in mind, with deep red hues dominating the colour scheme. The rooms are home to cosy pods and vary in capacity with the majority sleeping up to six people and others sleeping up to ten - a perfect feature for those travelling in small or larger groups.

Jamie Carragher said: “The Sandon is brilliant for Anfield and LFC fans who now have somewhere to stay right next to the ground. The pub’s history and the fact that it is an official club hospitality partner shows it’s a great place to come to watch the Reds in action.”

Owner Kate Stewart added: “We’re delighted to open The Sandon Hotel today. The pub is a favourite with LFC fans and it’s great to be able to offer them somewhere to stay now too.

“Having Jamie officially open the hotel was incredible - he’s a Liverpool legend.”
