Plans for a 70-storey tower have been unveiled which would see it become Liverpool’s tallest building.

The proposed skyscraper includes a 5-star hotel and luxury residences on the city’s waterfront, north of Pier Head.

Developers said the hotel will occupy the bottom 23 floors, with 212 rooms. The rest of the building will feature 563 apartments.

If the scheme is approved by planners, it will also house bars, restaurants, gymnasiums, banqueting facilities and a rooftop terrace.
