Roll up and see for yourself how Blackpool rocks
Although primarily thought of as a summer destination, the quintessential seaside resort of Blackpool arguably comes into its own during the autumn and winter months.
Indeed, as the days grow shorter, there are few more welcoming sights than the town’s iconic illuminations lighting up the night sky, and the comforting buzz of the attractions along its famed Pleasure Beach provide a warming glow in colder weather.

The resort has also become increasingly popular with Scots, who now make up 25 per cent of its yearly visitors.
With this in mind – and whatever the purpose of your trip – the ideally-located Hampton by Hilton caters to every type of traveller. This strikingly modern hotel lies on Blackpool’s South Shore, directly on the promenade. Located only a ten-minute walk from the Pleasure Beach, the three-star destination is also within two miles of the world-famous Blackpool Tower, the Winter Gardens, Central Pier and Madame Tussaud’s.
The hotel prides itself on its easy accessibility – there’s a tram stop directly across from its door that offers convenient travel along the coast, and the management are happy to offer accessible rooms with walk-in baths suitable for any guest.

Motorists are also well-served, as there are car parking bays with charging stations for electric vehicles.
You have the option to take your best friend along too – the hotel’s pet-friendly rooms take the stress out of having to arrange alternative accommodation for them.
With accessibility always in mind, there are also areas where pets are not allowed –so you don’t have to worry if anyone in the family suffers from allergies.

There’s also a state-of-the-art fitness centre, which is free for all guests to use, while its bar and lounge area are open 24 hours a day.
Hampton by Hilton treats breakfast seriously and its all-you-can-eat buffet has proved extremely popular, plus – best of all – it’s free. Whether you are visiting for business or pleasure, it’s sure to set you up for the rest of the day.
In addition to the hot buffet, the hotel offers a selection of pastries, cheese and fruit, cereal and even a waffle maker, should you wish to get creative with the first meal of the day.
