The Municipal Hotel launches its festive line-up for a sparkling Liverpool Christmas

The Municipal Hotel and Spa in Liverpool has unveiled its festive line-up for 2025, promising a luxurious and atmospheric Christmas season inside one of the city’s most impressive landmark buildings.

The hotel will be transformed for winter, with sparkling décor and a range of seasonal food, drink and spa experiences.

Guests can start the celebrations with a festive afternoon tea in the Botanic Tearoom, spend the evening enjoying cocktails under the Palm Court’s glass domes, or sit down to a seasonal menu at Seaforth, the hotel’s brasserie-style restaurant.

For something more intimate, the Weightman Suite offers a quieter setting for family get-togethers or private dining, while the hotel’s spa is offering a series of bespoke treatments designed to help guests unwind during the busy Christmas period.

Festive afternoon tea at Botanic Tearoom
From 24 November, the Botanic Tearoom will serve a festive version of its signature afternoon tea. Expect seasonal sandwiches including turkey and stuffing, smoked salmon with crème cheese and cranberry sausage rolls, along with festive pastries such as a black cherry dome, clementine cheesecake and freshly baked mince pies. Afternoon tea is priced at £45 from Monday to Friday and £49 at weekends.

Seaforth festive dining
Seaforth’s festive menu runs from 24 November to 24 December, offering starters such as maple roasted parsnip soup and ham hock terrine, followed by mains including roast turkey with all the trimmings, seared seabass or a vegan option of glazed celeriac. Desserts include Christmas pudding with gingerbread custard, a vodka and wild berry delice and a vegan chocolate delice. Two courses are £35 and three are £45, served daily from midday to 9pm.

Private dining and festive events
Throughout December, the Palm Court Library will host a festive canapé menu inspired by Liverpool’s trade history, with prices starting at £20 for three dishes. Larger groups can choose a bowl food menu for £45 per person, suitable for networking events or seasonal celebrations.

Great Gatsby New Year’s Eve soirée
To welcome 2026, the Municipal is hosting a Great Gatsby–themed celebration in the Botanic Room. Guests can expect 1920s glamour, live jazz and a five-course gala dinner featuring dishes such as oyster rockefeller, poached shrimp, champagne sorbet, glazed pork and a whisky trifle finished with edible gold. Tickets are £110 per person, with a £20 deposit required.

Festive spa packages
The Municipal Spa is offering seasonal escapes including an exclusive spa experience for up to 15 guests. The package includes private use of all facilities, champagne on arrival, a personalised one-hour treatment and a poolside lunch.

Festive breaks
The hotel is also offering festive stays, with rooms designed for complete comfort after a long day of Christmas shopping. Prices start from £175 per room, including a full English breakfast.
