The Hilton Garden Inn, which will be operated by Lancashire County Cricket Club under franchise, will have 150 bedrooms spread over five floors and will include a fitness centre.
The hotel will also include a restaurant, a bar and the Pavilion Pantry serving snacks throughout the day.
The new hotel is scheduled to open in the summer of 2017.
