About

Since completion in 1911 it has overlooked as one third of the world famous ‘Three Graces’ along with the Port of Liverpool Building and the Cunard Building lining the Liverpool waterfront. Atop each clock tower stand the mythical Liver Birds, designed by Carl Bernard Bartels.

The birds are named Bella and Bertie, one looking out to sea to protect the sailors and one watching over the city of Liverpool. Legend dictates that should the birds fly away, the city would cease to exist. Now a Grade 1 listed building, The Royal Liver Building has become a world recognisable landmark of Liverpool, with the Liver Birds recognised as the official symbol of our historic city. Liver Suite at the Royal Liver Building offers you the opportunity to share in this history.
