Mandy, Doug, and Daniel offer a warm welcome to their Canasta Hotel that rests on the North Promenade, overlooking the Irish Sea.
We are a short 5 minute stroll from the hustle and bustle of the town centre, ideal for the shopping area and entertainment district, yet far enough away to enjoy the peace and tranquillity.
Blackpool is the perfect base for touring the North West area of England. Liverpool and Manchester are only an hour's drive away, Preston half an hour, the beautiful Lake District an hour and a half.
The Canasta Canasta Hotel offers tastefully furnished bedrooms. We are proud winners of the Blackpool Tourism Canasta Hotel of the Year in 2004 and came 2nd in 2005. Free tea and coffee is served all day to our guests from 09:00 to 21:00.
Hotel information

Please note that from 01 July 2007 smoking is not allowed in any area of the Canasta Hotel (including bedrooms).
