The National Westminster Bank, Castle Street, Liverpool, England is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
A typical 19th-century bank building of early renaissance style with closely spaced classically styled windows and a heavily moulded cornice.
It was built between 1898 and 1901 for Parr's Bank, having been designed by Richard Norman Shaw.[2] It later housed NatWest Bank, until they closed the bank in October 2017, putting it out for rent.[3] Plans were announced in October 2021 to convert the venue into a 92-bed hotel and bar.[4] Liverpool City Council approved planning permission for the ground floor to be turned into a bar and restaurant in July 2022, with further permission on turning the upper floors into a hotel with roof extension pending.[5]
