Completion nears on multi-million-pound Lytham St Annes hotel

The Inn Collection Group is set to welcome guests to its 98-bedroom inn off South Promenade in the new year.

Designed by architect GSS, the scheme has seen the merging of the former Carlton and Lindum hotels at 61 and 63-67 South Promenade, respectively, to create the Offshore hotel in Lytham St Annes.

Part of the Inn Collection, Offshore will feature a bar and restaurant, which will cater for up to 204 guests at a time.

Manchester-based Medlock is the principal contractor for the development, which will also see the creation of a 110-cover external terrace to offer guests outdoor seating overlooking St Anne’s Pier and the Ribble Estuary.

Plans for the multi-million-pound conversion also include the replacement of the existing roofs and windows, in addition to a refreshed façade.

Louise Stewart, property director at The Inn Collection Group, said: “This major investment is creating a vibrant new facility for the community and visitors to enjoy, which will also contribute to the wider economy of Lytham St Annes.

“We have rejuvenated the site whilst still retaining its character to deliver a relaxed, welcoming beachside venue.”

Silverstone Building Consultancy is the project manager for the revamp.

Ben Rennocks, director at Silverstone Building Consultancy, said: “It’s incredibly satisfying to see the transformation of the old, dilapidated hotels into the new modern facility.

“On completion, it will be a great-looking venue with quality amenities that make the most of its wonderful, coastal views.”

PWA Planning is the planning consultant for the scheme. The project team also includes structural and civil engineer Maughan Reynolds Partnership and interior architect Design North. Sine designed the mechanical and electrical installations.
