In 2015, local hotelier Nigel Seddon and his family, who also own the nearby 89-bedroom Elgin Hotel, acquired the 104-bedroom Hotel Sheraton on Blackpool’s seafront. The hotel had been owned by the McPhee family for 54 years before being sold for an undisclosed amount, although it had been listed with a guide price of £2.3 million. While the exact date of construction is not confirmed, it is believed the hotel was built around 1961, based on the length of time the McPhee family had operated it.
Following the acquisition, the new owners announced plans for a £500,000 refurbishment. This includes updating 35 of the hotel’s rooms with a new “beach house” style, as well as installing new bathrooms. The hotel’s public areas, including function rooms, two bars, a restaurant, and an indoor heated swimming pool, will also be refreshed. A new brochure and website will be launched as part of the renovation, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the Hotel Sheraton.
