Doric Hotel

Sitting right on the Queens promenade, this bright and airy family-run hotel offers breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. Adjacent to the historic Blackpool Tramway, which at 139 years old is one of the oldest electric tramways in the world, it was previously ranked as the best family hotel in the UK by TripAdvisor.

With a prime seafront position and plenty of entertainment to get stuck into, the sleek and stylish Doric Hotel has it all going on. Recently refurbished to the highest standard, inside you’ll find two swimming pools including a heated rooftop pool with a brand new poolside bar, a jacuzzi spa bath, a stylish open lounge area, and a games room with a full-size pool table and plenty of arcade options.

A sauna, steam room and sunbathing patio add to its list of attractions, with modern and sleek interiors creating a calming, comfortable atmosphere for your stay. In total, the hotel features 103 en-suite bedrooms all equipped with a radio, flat screen TV, hair dryer and tea/coffee making facilities. It also boasts a vibrant, upscale modern bar that offers the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine or a cocktail after a long day exploring the town.

Doric Hotel has been run by the same family, The Taylors, for over twenty years and is a popular choice with visitors of all ages. Its nightly live entertainment and bingo offer all the signature thrills and spills Blackpool holiday makers could desire, whilst its spacious family rooms come in a variety of shapes, layouts and sizes to suit every need.

Whether you’re looking to belly laugh at stand-up comedy, revel at impressive dance choreography, or sing along to lively shows from some of the UK’s best tribute performers (think Elton John, Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra and The Beatles), there’s plenty to keep the whole family entertained at Doric Hotel. There’s even live puppet and magic shows, discos and treasure hunts for children hosted seven nights a week during the school holidays. They’ve thought of it all, really.
