Blackpool Hotels

Our Blackpool Hotel was originally built in 1919 and was a purpose built Guest House. Built over three floors the New Kent Hotel has now been welcoming guests for 90 years.

Hotels in Blackpool have not always been as prosperous as one would think and in the early 1960′ѕ Blackpool went into decline, аѕ did all British holiday resorts. Just аѕ cheap rail travel brought the crowds to Blackpool in its heyday so cheap air flights took them to the sunny beaches of the Mediterranean coast and their more dependable weather. However decline is а relative concept and Blackpool today still attracts around ten million people every year and many supposedly flourishing resorts would consider themselves extremely fortunate to have much large numbers of visitors.
