Plans to build a new £8.5million, 130-bedroom Hampton by Hilton hotel on Blackpool’s South Promenade have been approved by local planners.
The hotel will also include a restaurant and bar, fitness facilities and a business hub.
The new hotel will be on the site of the now disused Palm Beach and Bourne Hotels. Construction work is expected to start autumn 2015. Hampton by Hilton Blackpool is scheduled to open spring 2017.
