So wide are the corridors of Liverpool's Titanic Hotel, cars could be driven along them without fear of hitting the walls either side. As for the 153 rooms, 'spacious' hardly does justice to their impressive size, with none are smaller than 56 square meters. Ours, 310, comprised a step-up living room and high bare-brick vaulted ceiling with iron fasteners. With pale gray walls, it featured unframed photographs of ships and industrial scenes, a chocolate-colored settee and armchair, a simple work-desk and coffee and tea-making facilities. The bathroom consisted of a double sink, tub and a walk-in shower, with old posters on the walls from the White Star Line promoting cruises to New York from Liverpool. And lush, fluffy towels.
