Who is De-Lovely Hotel best for?
This is the pick if you like a hotel with personality. Every room is styled differently, and the morning meal has a reputation among guests.
It suits couples and small groups who want a sociable bar downstairs and a room to retreat to. It sits further along Lord Street than the station-end houses, so expect a longer walk from the train and the Dickson Road venues.
Rooms and facilities
What the listing tells us about the stay:
- Each en-suite room has its own theme

A mixed LGBTQ+ stay is the easiest option for friends who want a welcoming base without a single rule for everyone. If De-Lovely Hotel is full or not quite right, the nearest alternatives by walking time are The Belvedere, Neon Bar and Hotel Neon, The Prince Albert Hotel; the stays directory compares them all.
Booking tips
Rooms are themed, so decide which you fancy and ask for it by name when you book. If you want Sunday lunch in the bar, reserve that at the same time, as roasts need booking.
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://www.delovelyhotel.co.uk/.
Good to know
- Some rooms are up a very steep staircase, so say so if that matters
- The bar is open to non-residents and hours vary by season
- Book Sunday lunch in advance
- Check which room you are allocated if you have mobility needs
