Summary - Hotel Athol Hotel Athol Promenade, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY1 FY1 6BH
31 bed 1 bath Hotel
Freehold sea-front hotel with immediate income potential and 10-space car park.
31 en-suite bedrooms across four floors — substantial guest capacity
A substantial 31-bedroom licensed hotel occupying a prominent south promenade position between Central and South Pier. All rooms are en-suite and the building includes communal leisure spaces — bar lounge with dance floor, sun lounge and dining room — plus a two-bedroom private flat. The property is offered freehold with a starting bid at auction and includes off-street parking for ten cars.
The business currently trades on a limited, part-time basis which has constrained turnover; this creates clear upside for an operator willing to increase marketing, extend opening hours and raise occupancy. The layout and facilities are suitable for continued hotel use or conversion to alternative seaside accommodation, subject to consents. Basic safety and comfort features are in place: central heating, double glazing and an L2 fire alarm system.
Buyers should note the urban context: the area is very deprived with very high local crime rates, which will influence operating costs, insurance and lettings. The building is dated mid‑20th century stock and will likely need cosmetic and operational investment to maximise income; accounts are available on application to reflect current limited trading. Sale is by online auction — bidders should review auction terms and view in person to assess condition and potential.
