Blackpool has long been a popular destination for a day out, but what if you want to stay for a little longer, perhaps a long weekend so you can better explore all that the famous seaside town has to offer?

 

UK staycations have had a resurgence in the last few years, as people don’t want to be hassled with long queues for ferries and cancelled flights, and many have rediscovered all that Great Britain can offer them.

 

But whether you want to see a show, visit The Blackpool Tower Circus, or simply relax on the beach, you’ll need somewhere to stay! The Victorian seaside resort has all the options, from cheap and cheerful B&Bs to luxury hotels, so we have a look at some of the best on offer for your trip to Blackpool this summer!

 

Hotels

 

It’s a near-impossible task to list all the incredible hotels in Blackpool, so we have picked out three of the best for you.

 

Boulevard Hotel (£££)

 

The Boulevard Hotel is a recent addition to the town, and a 5-star luxury hotel located right next to the Pleasure Beach, making it ideal for those wanting to explore the theme park, as well as the rest of the seaside resort, whether it’s a family holiday or a romantic getaway for two.

 

There are glorious sea views on offer, fine dining at the Beachside Restaurant and the Surfside Cafe, and the private hire Ocean Club, as well as long walks along the beach as the sun sets over the Irish Sea, making it perfect for a romantic escape for couples.

 

There is a range of room sizes, including regular, executive, and family rooms, and guests also have the option to get special tickets to the Pleasure Beach that allow entry to the Park via a private entrance for the first 90 minutes of each day.

Imperial Hotel Blackpool (££)

 

Enjoy a royal stay at the Imperial Hotel, a historic 4-star hotel located on the relatively quieter North Shore of the resort and a ten-minute stroll from the North Pier. Being a little way from the main attractions of Blackpool can mean it’s a little quieter for those who don’t want or need to be right in the hustle and bustle of the town centre.

 

The Victorian hotel dates back to 1867, giving guests a glimpse into the history of Blackpool, and is known for its period features and architecture, such as its high-vaulted ceiling bar that has served many British Prime Ministers during its long history.

 

The traditionally furnished rooms are available in a range of sizes, including family rooms, and the Imperial’s charm and provenance have ensured it is always been a popular choice for visitors.

The Lawton (£)

 

Well within walking distance of Blackpool town centre is The Lawton, a popular 3-star hotel for those seeking lower-budget accommodation for their seaside vacation. The rooms are traditional and basic but comfortable and suitable for groups of all sizes, including large families.

 

There is a restaurant for a delicious breakfast, as well as a bar, and there is a fantastic selection of local restaurants for dinner all within a short stroll of the hotel.

B&Bs

 

Blackpool is well known for its abundance of quaint and charming bed & breakfasts, and again, far too many to mention! Here are three of the best for a range of budgets.

 

Number One South Beach (£££)

 

Found close to the southern end of the Promenade, Number One South Beach is a 5-star, small luxury boutique hotel with stylishly decorated rooms, fine linen, sea views, and even whirlpool baths!

 

It’s the ideal spot for a romantic holiday, and while not might be a little away from the busier areas of the town, it makes a perfect base for sightseeing and it’s only a short walk, or a tram ride, from the main attraction of Blackpool.

 

There is a fantastic on-site restaurant and bar, and also free parking.

The Redstone Guesthouse (££)

 

Between Central and South Piers, and set close to the beach is The Redstone Guesthouse, which has amassed some of the best accommodation ratings in Blackpool. You’ll find yourself in the centre of town and all the attractions in a 15 min walk, or hop on a tram to take you up and down the Fylde Coast.

 

Guests have the option of a delicious breakfast and a variety of delicious homemade cakes. The accommodation is traditional, with a contemporary twist, and there is also a bar to relax in after a long day of exploring the famous seaside town.

Hornby Villa (£)

 

Hornby Villa is a 4-star B&B and a highly-rated destination for those who want a relaxing break, especially couples and families seeking the best value for mid to low budgets. It’s in a quiet area of the town, but only a 10-minute walk from the main attractions, including Blackpool Tower and The Winter Gardens.

 

The B&B does have a minimum stay requirement of two to three nights during the busier periods but provides welcoming accommodation with homely touches, such as the homemade preserves served with breakfast.
