WHERE TO FIND US

La Tour Hotel is situated on Albert Road in Blackpool Town Centre

We suggest you print this page, or copy and paste the section you need, to bring with you

By Car:

From the M6, turn on to the M55 (Jct 32) and follow this to the very end.  You will see signs for Blackpool North Shore and Town Centre to take the off ramp (Jct 1).  DO NOT TAKE THIS ROAD!  Instead follow the brown signs directing you to CAR PARKS.  You will need to be in the right hand lane when you get to the first roundabout.  Take the second exit (ie straight ahead) and stay on this road (called Yeadon Way).  You will pass a petrol station on your left, go straight through the 1st mini roundabout and again at the 2nd mini roundabout.  Pass under the bridge and from there just follow the road past the football ground. *THERE IS CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTION IN THIS AREA - PLEASE JUST FOLLOW THE ROAD AND ANY DIVERSION SIGNS* You are heading for CENTRAL car park.  At the next roundabout take the first exit (not into the coach park!!).  Continue on this road, you will pass a McDonalds and the Odeon cinema down on your right.  At the last roundabout you must go straight on and you have reached Central Car Park.  **Head into the car park and make for the exit with the height limit barriers.  This is Central Drive.  You must turn left into this one-way street.  ^Be in the left hand lane.  Go through the pedestrian crossing and veer to the right (there is another McDonalds on that corner).  This is Albert Road.  Head up the road (still in the left hand lane) and straight through the traffic lights.  We are situated about 150 yards on the left hand side.

You may load and unload in front of the hotel, however parking on street is only available for 80 MINUTES until 6pm for which you must pay and display. (No return allowed within 2 hours). As you will have seen on your drive in there are numerous parking places in town with varied rates.  More information can be found in the hotel.

** Sometimes if the car park is full a sign will restrict your entry.  If this is the case follow the road as it veers around to the right and at the give way sign you must turn left.  Be in the left hand lane at the traffic lights.  You must turn left again and this takes you into Central Drive.  You will pass the exit as mentioned above.  Continue from ^ (above)

By Train:

Most trains require you to change at PRESTON.  Be sure to take the train for BLACKPOOL NORTH.  On reaching the station the easiest option is to take a taxi (should be no more than £4).  If you would like to walk - exit the station and veer to your right.  Do not go into the underpass.  Take the ramp to your left before it.  At the top of the ramp cross the road diagonally towards the bus station/car park.  Walk down the side of the station (NOT the open front, where the buses/cars exit), cross the first road (keeping The Hop pub situated on the fork to your left) and take the right fork (King Street).  Follow King Street and cross two roads (Church Street first, then Adelaide Street).  You will see a bar called Fisherman's Cove on the first corner and a Doctors surgery on the second corner.  King Street becomes South King Street at that first corner.  Stay on the right hand side and you will pass another Doctors surgery.  At the next main street turn right.  This is Albert Road.  Cross over the two side streets and we are a further 75 yards down on the right hand side.  This walk should only take approx. 10 minutes (traffic permitting) for a slow walker.

By Bus:

There are a number of bus companies who have varied drop off points throughout the town.  It would be much easier once you have arrived to take a taxi direct to the hotel.  Most drop off points will have a taxi rank close by however you can always contact Streamline on 01253 623535.

By Air:

Blackpool Airport is on the outskirts of the town.  It is served by local taxi companies (approx £6) and by bus.  Bus numbers 7 and 11 pick up from outside the airport and will drop you at Blackpool Tower or the Bus Station.  To walk from the bus station see above (by train).  From the Tower walk down the side of the Tower building (Pricebusters) and head towards the McDonalds on the corner.  Turn left up Albert Road and go through the traffic lights.  We are about 150 yards up on the left hand side. 
If you are arriving at Manchester Airport there is a direct train service to Blackpool North at least every hour.  Journey time is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.  Please see above (by train) for how to reach us once you arrive in Blackpool.  Alternatively if you would like a taxi service to pick you up at Manchester, please contact us at least 3 weeks before arrival with your flight details and we will try to arrange one for you.  Payment is made direct to the driver.  Expect to pay at least £50. (approx 1 hour journey from Manchester)
