The new Sands Hotel will feature penthouse suites overlooking the promenade and the Irish Sea.

The Sands Hotel will be built on the site of the former Palatine Hotel which together with other buildings on the site, including Central Station, were demolished in the 1970s during a period of large-scale redevelopment in Blackpool.

The project is the brainchild of businessman Peter Swann, who owns the company that operates Sands Entertainment Venue in the resort and who is also chairman of League One side Scunthorpe United FC.

Work is expected to begin on the hotel by summer 2017.
