May 28th, 2009 at 6:30PM: Beatles fan? Sure, the Amsterdam Hilton may be the one that made it to one of their songs, but the "Hard Days Night" hotel is located in the city where it all began. This Liverpool hotel features standard and deluxe rooms decorated with Beatles posters, but it is their Lennon and McCartney suites that really show off the Beatles Theme.
