Who is The Belvedere best for?
For years The Belvedere has been among Dickson Road's best-known LGBTQ+-friendly houses, with a full English each morning and a bar at weekends. Adults only, it is a few doors from Funny Girls and its neighbouring bars.
Its future is the thing to know. The owners listed it in June 2026. It keeps taking bookings for now, but may open room-only on special weekends unless a buyer appears fast.
Rooms and facilities
What the listing says:
- An adults-only Victorian house

Getting there and getting around
From Blackpool North it is about 6 mins on foot, a manageable walk with a bag, though a taxi may appeal late at night. The Prom at North Pier is 9 mins away and the Tower is 15 mins, so a sea-air stroll before dinner is easy to fit in. The safety guide has sensible tips for getting home after dark.
Is it the right fit?
Adults-only houses are generally calmer than a bar with rooms, which makes them a good choice if sleep matters as much as the nightlife. If The Belvedere is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are Chaps Hotel, De-Lovely Hotel, Lu-Lu's Cabaret Lounge; the stays directory compares them all.
Booking tips
Because opening may change while the sale is pending, do not rely on a third-party booking site. Ring or use the guest house site and get written confirmation. If it is not available, the other adults-only houses on the /stays/ page are good fallbacks.
Rooms go early for Blackpool Pride and the Illuminations, so book as soon as you know your dates. Prices and availability change, so always check the venue's own site or phone before you pay: https://belvedereblackpool.com/.
