Smile Helipad

I recommend the Liverpool Marriott Hotel South which is the old airport terminal building on the now closed northern airfield. This art-deco hotel retains the 1930s era when Speke Airport was first opened. It has been refurbished to a very high standard and has an aviation theme throughout - even down to a De Havilland Rapide mock-up outside the front door!! Contact the hotel on 0151 494 5000. Not sure if there is a helipad marked out but the whole of the old apron is available for landing. Check out 2 photos on the "Friends of Liverpool Airport" website - www.fola.org.uk - one on the Airport Terminal Information page, Hotel paragraph and ther other on the Current Developments page. Weekend rates are very attractive. A David Lloyd Sports Centre is available free to guests in the adjoining Grade 11 listed hangar!! What more do you want?
