Historic Setting & Hosts

The Derby Hotel is housed in a historic building less than 750 yards from North Pier. The hotel has won the Best of British Hospitality Award for its service. Guests are welcomed by experienced hosts Ivan and Tim, who provide local knowledge on attractions and transport.

Beachfront Location

The hotel is situated less than 1 km from Blackpool North Beach, offering sea views from many rooms. A tram stop a minute's walk from the hotel connects directly to the Pleasure Beach and Blackpool Tower. The location is on a quiet stretch of the seafront, a 20-minute flat walk to the town centre.

Dining Experience

The on-site restaurant serves a full English breakfast with customisable options, including vegetarian and gluten-free meals. Guests pre-order breakfast the evening before to ensure fresh, made-to-order cooking. Evening meals are available upon prior arrangement and include homemade dishes.

Family-Friendly Accommodations

The hotel offers family rooms with sea views, and provides DVD players and cots for children. PlayStation consoles are available in some rooms for younger guests. Kids' meals are offered in the restaurant, and the shared lounge area has a TV for families to relax.

On-Site Amenities

The hotel has a fully stocked bar with a cosy drinking den in the basement. Free parking is available on-site for all guests. The shared lounge area faces the sea and offers a place for socialising with other guests.
