About
Number One South Beach
Number One South Beach is a 5-star hotel on Blackpool's South Shore. With 18 rooms, it is a small property with a personal approach — something guests consistently note in their feedback. The hotel sits back from the busiest stretch of the front, so it offers a quieter base than the centre, yet the tram and bus stops are within easy reach.
The rooms are modern and individually decorated, many with sea views and some with balconies. Bathrooms come with bathtubs — a few even have TVs you can watch while soaking. The hotel provides a range of thoughtful touches, including a welcome drink, laundry and dry cleaning services, and a guests' lounge. On-site parking adds convenience for those arriving by car.

Worth weighing

- Limited rooms and check-in window — With only 18 rooms, availability may be limited. Check-in is between 14:00 and 23:00, so late arrivals after 11pm are not accommodated.
- Price point is high for Blackpool — Rates start at £275 per night, which is above the average for the area (guest rating average is 8.2 across Blackpool, but price tier is premium).

9.3Verified guest“Honestly, a very nice stay for two nights. The whole place was clean and the staff welcoming. I really enjoyed the luxury king room, could have stayed there all day. The location was unbeatable, close to Solaris Centre and not far from tram stops, central Blackpool and bus routes.”
9.3Verified guest“Number One South Beach is just outside the heart of the front in Blackpool, so it's nice and quiet. The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are fantastic — so easy to relax in your own bubble bath! Breakfasts are wonderful, especially the continental options (try number 2). All in all, a very happy, relaxing stay and we would certainly stay again. Definitely a 5-star experience.”
