One of Ulster Carpets’ most recent projects is set to become part of a worldwide phenomena. Twenty years after conception, Hard Days Night in Liverpool has opened its doors as a Beatles themed hotel, named after the second movie the world famous group starred in.

Situated in the “Beatles Quarter” of Liverpool city and adjacent to the Cavern Club where the group first rose to fame, the Hotel is a ‘Grade II’ listed building dating back to 1884.

Helping to create a unique, yet tasteful Beatles themed environment pitched at the luxury end of the hotel market, Ulster Carpets in conjunction with Design LSM created a series of designs to complement the décor and the specially commissioned artwork that depicts the story of the Beatles.

Each room has its own style, emulating the subliminal messages the Beatles famously placed in their lyrics during their rise to fame. Bar Four embraced the Beatles favourite colours - blue, purple, red and green, Peter Blake, creator of the original Sgt. Peppers album cover was the inspiration for Blakes restaurant and Hari’s Bar has a contemporary Indian theme based on the group’s association with both India and Hari Krishna. 

The eclectic array of designs were based on a contemporary 70’s style and comprised textured swirls, waves, circles and stripes, The colour scheme for the 110 bedrooms, 2 suites, 2 bars, 2 restaurants, 2 function rooms and gallery, consists of brown teamed with contrasting orange, red, green and yellow. The ‘Two of Us’ chapel embraces more subtle cream and grey hues, with a softer ivy swirl type design.

Ulster Carpets’ PSYLO technology facilitated the production of this unique range of designs and the electric fusion of colours throughout the Hard Days Night Hotel. PSYLO has revolutionised the carpet industry, it eliminates the weaknesses of electronic jacquards by offering unrivalled flexibility during the creation and manufacturing process. PSYLO has created extraordinary, new opportunities for design not available with any other carpet weaving system.

Hard Days Night Hotel is based around creating an experience rather than a museum, attracting worldwide attention. It will become a landmark building at the epicentre of ‘The European City of Culture 2008’ and is already becoming a tourist attraction in its own right.
