Signature Living: From Liverpools Flashiest Hotel Empire to Bankruptcy
Once a thriving hotel group in Liverpool, Signature Living, led by Lawrence Kenwright, transformed old buildings into popular hotspots like the Shankly Hotel and thirty James Street. However, financial troubles, delayed payouts, and the COVID-19 lockdowns led to the companys downfall. By June 2020, they owed nearly £114 million and entered administration. Kenwright and his wife were declared bankrupt in February 2024. The fallout left investors out of pocket, buildings empty, and families feeling betrayed. The Shankly Hotel remains open under new administrators, while thirty James Street changed owners and is set to reopen as the White Star Hotel. Dixie Dean was sold to a creditor-linked buyer.
