Chronicles of Blackpool
Blackpool, a seaside resort town on the Lancashire coast, was founded in 1871 as a small fishing village. The town's Victorian era growth is still evident in its elegant architecture, including the stunning Blackpool Tower, a 518ft-tall observation tower that dominates the skyline. In the 19th and 20th centuries, Blackpool became a popular destination for working-class holidays, earning it the nickname 'the playground of the North'. Today, the town proudly celebrates its rich history and cultural identity through its annual events, including the Blackpool Air Show and the Blackpool Illuminations. The town's iconic tram system, which began operating in 1885, remains a popular way to get around town.

Peak / festival surge
July is peak season in Blackpool, driven by the summer holidays and the town's famous Illuminations festival, which attracts millions of visitors. Hotel prices surge during this period, and the town can feel busy and congested. Be prepared for long queues and higher prices for popular attractions.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Berkeley Holiday Apartments, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th floor or above) for a quieter stay. The Queen's Promenade is a busy street, and the hotel's location means rooms on lower floors may be noisier due to the street traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms near the service entrance (which may be located on the ground floor) as this could be a source of noise, especially if the hotel has a late-night delivery or maintenance schedule.
Best views
The hotel's address on the Queen's Promenade means that rooms with a sea view will have a view of the Irish Sea. However, be aware that the view may be partially obstructed by other buildings or the promenade itself.
Quietest floors
The 4th floor and above are likely to be quieter due to the distance from the street and potential noise sources.
