04 — Location

Getting around Blackpool

The property sits in Blackpool.

Seafront: The hotel sits on Central Promenade, so the beach and piers are right outside. Stroll along the promenade, enjoy the sea air, and watch the world go by from the terrace.

Blackpool Tower: A short walk from the hotel, the iconic Tower offers panoramic views, the circus, and the ballroom.

Madame Tussauds: Just a 12-minute walk away, the wax museum is a popular attraction for families.

Dining and nightlife: The hotel's own restaurant and bar cover most needs, but the promenade is lined with fish and chip shops, arcades, and pubs. Guests also mention Sticky Chocolate Ltd as a nearby spot for a treat.
