Blackpool Hotels at LateRooms

The iconic seaside resort of the north, Blackpool has quite the reputation for its family-friendly attractions during daytime hours, and its vibrant nightlife scene once the sun sets.

The popularity of the town endures, thanks to its iconic Tower and Ballroom, the Pleasure Beach Resort theme park, and the many bars and clubs that are often open at all hours – midday karaoke is not uncommon.

For many, it’s the perfect place for a spontaneous trip either to keep the kids happy or for a cheap and cheerful night out with friends. And so, you’ll want to check out all the last minute hotels in Blackpool we have to offer, many with exclusive discounts if you sign up for free.

Where to Stay in Blackpool

Blackpool's seafront is the heart of the action, offering a variety of hotels, guesthouses, and bed and breakfasts with stunning views of the Irish Sea.

Aim for the area around the Central Pier if you want to be right among the bars and the main nightlife, or if your family enjoys spending time playing the coin pushers and other games in the many arcades.

If it’s a theme park stay, then you’re better aiming for the South Pier, as that’s where the Pleasure Beach is located, as well as the Sandcastle waterpark.

For a more peaceful stay, consider accommodations in the quieter neighbourhoods of South Shore or North Shore, where you can enjoy a relaxing retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre while still being within easy reach of all the amenities and attractions Blackpool has to offer.

You can also look further north again – the tram runs all the way up to Fleetwood. Unlike other destinations, being further out from the centre doesn’t guarantee cheaper prices – there are many budget-friendly options right in the midst of the Blackpool action – but it does mean a quieter atmosphere, better if you want to avoid the nightlife crowds.

There are also a smaller number of Blackpool hotels away from the seafront, which can be quieter options too. These are good for the Blackpool Zoo, though it’s typically easier to get a taxi there anyway.

Our map view makes it easy to find the best options for you and your group, whether you’re a stag or hen party looking for Blackpool hotel deals to keep costs down, or a family who would prefer to be near the theme park or the zoo.
