Best Western Carlton Hotel 282 Promenade, Blackpool FY1 2EZ, UK

The Best Western Carlton Hotel is a fabulous place to stay in Blackpool, with a fantastic seafront location overlooking the beautiful Fylde coast. Getting to the beach is easy - just walk out the door and cross the road. As the hotel is situated on the slightly less hectic north promenade, you're minutes from the centre of Blackpool and its many attractions and can still enjoy peace and quiet.

Built at the turn of the century, the Best Western Carlton Hotel boasts panoramic scenery across the Irish Sea, as well as a front row view along 12 miles of sandy beaches and the famous Golden Mile. A leisurely stroll will take you to the town centre and Winter Gardens, with the best that Blackpool has to offer within easy reach. The iconic Blackpool Tower is impossible to miss, and just a mile away and a little further to the south are the famous amusements of the Pleasure Beach. You'll know you're there when you hear the screams of thrill-seekers riding The Big One - the UKs tallest and fastest rollercoaster. In between, you'll find Seaworld, Madame Tussaud's and more seaside entertainment than you could possibly wish for.

On a practical level, the Best Western Carlton Hotel is just half a mile from Blackpool North station and is ideally located as a conference venue in Blackpool. If you do like to be beside the seaside, this is the hotel for you.
