Situated nearly 5 minutes' walk from Southport Pier, the classic Waterfront Southport Hotel offers a sundeck and a shared lounge. Offering air-conditioned rooms, the 4-star luxury hotel provides the opportunity to spend time by Marine Lake, which is 200 metres away.

Location

Wesley Street is in proximity to the hotel, while Southport Marina is just a 7-minute walk away. The Waterfront Southport is around 100 metres from Promenade/marine Parade bus stop and around 500 metres from the Model Railway Village.

The property also lies next to a lake. Feel in total harmony with nature by visiting the public Hesketh Park, merely 1.7 km from this Southport hotel.

The accommodation is a short way from Southport railway station.

Rooms

The air-conditioned rooms have a balcony and a terrace equipped with a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, as well as climate control and soundproof walls. Also, there is a safe box, coffee/tea making equipment provided. Bathrooms include a walk-in shower and a separate toilet, along with such comforts as a hairdryer and bath sheets. You can enjoy views of the sea from the rooms.

Eat & Drink

Guests can relax and have a snack in the lounge bar. Offering Italian dishes, Trattoria 51 lies within 5 minutes' walk of Waterfront Southport Hotel.

Leisure & Business

This hotel goes the extra mile to provide guests with fitness classes to help them stay fit. Offering 131 spacious rooms, the hotel also features a golf club on site. 4 meeting rooms with conference equipment and a photocopy machine are available for those travelling for business.

“The Waterfront Southport occupies prime real estate near the pier; its sun terrace, complete with bar and firepits, must be a draw, especially given Southport's propensity for events. A comprehensive service offering - weddings, business - coupled with brasserie-style dining makes it a solid choice; if I were staying, I'd request a lake view.”
