11 bed 1 bath Hotel
Turn-key 11-bedroom hotel by the Promenade — turn-key trading opportunity.
Freehold double-fronted Victorian hotel close to Promenade and piers
A substantial double-fronted Victorian hotel located immediately off Blackpool Promenade, the property offers a turn-key B&B business with 11 quality guest bedrooms and self-contained manager accommodation. The building underwent major refurbishment in 2021: new roof, full replumbing and rewiring, improved sound and thermal insulation, and a high-quality central heating and water system. Rooms are fitted to a high standard with keyless card entry, CCTV and double glazing. Trading under management with strong online ratings, the hotel shows clear potential for an owner-operator to increase yield.
Practical strengths include freehold ownership, mains services, recent mechanical and electrical renewals, and on-site dining, bar and laundry facilities. The layout provides flexible ground-floor public areas and upstairs rooms configured as doubles and family suites, with scope to add an extra bedroom from existing storage space. The property benefits from an obvious tourist footfall being between Central and South Pier and close to Pleasure Beach.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the wider area is classified as very deprived and crime is recorded as very high, which can affect staffing, insurance and guest perceptions. Local socio-economic indicators are weak, and one data field lists only a single bathroom despite the internal description of en suite rooms—this should be clarified during due diligence. While newly renovated, ongoing operating costs and seasonal demand typical of seaside towns need to be factored into forecasts.
This is suited to investors or hands-on operators seeking an immediate trading business in a prime promenade position. Viewing is recommended to assess layout, confirm operational figures and verify the bathroom/en suite information noted in the listing. The property is presented largely ready to trade but buyers should plan for marketing, security and local-area risk mitigation to maximise returns.
