A popular vacation destination on the Irish Sea, Blackpool boasts a number of popular attractions. Aside from its many beaches, the city is also home to England's own impressive tower design by Gustav Eiffel, known as the Blackpool Tower. Amusement park enthusiasts will enjoy the many rides at Pleasure Beach Theme Park, which has been entertaining tourists since 1896. In the autumn months, the seaside area is transformed with a spectacular light show known as the Blackpool Illuminations. With a reputation for being the birthplace of the seaside holiday, its no surprise to find there are dozens of small hotels along the coastline.
Offering 40 en suite rooms, many with seascape views, The Waldorf is just a short walk from the historic Pleasure Beach Theme Park and a quick tram ride away from the city's many other attractions. The hotel also offers entertainment for a night in, including Bingo, Karaoke and theme weekends, such as '60s, '70s and Western mini-break holidays. The hotel is also home to a 100-seat restaurant that serves a varying menu of fresh, local ingredients. Each guest room at the Waldorf comes with a multi-channel television with DVD player, internet access and a hospitality tray featuring coffee, tea and biscuits.
