The firm says The Old Post Office is its ‘flagship property’, with further openings in Harrogate earmarked for 2023, as well as the former Warrington Collegiate Art School on Museum Street.

It chose the Springfield Street site due to its close proximity to Parr Hall and Warrington Museum, as well as to Time Square and Warrington Bank Quay station.

Priestley Construction undertook the extensive £3.2million renovation project on behalf of Deuce Hotels and partners Danny Inman and Nathan Priestley.

Many of the listed building’s original features have been meticulously refurbished and retained, with contrasting modern tech including guests being able to enter using just their smartphones.

Local subcontractors were used throughout the construction phase, with the hotel initially creating six new jobs for local people, which is expected to grow as the business does over time.

Nathan said: “Warrington is undergoing significant regeneration, driven by an ambitious, forward-thinking council.
