Located within 5 minutes' walk of Southport Theatre And Convention Centre, the classic Waterfront Southport Hotel offers spacious rooms merely 0.9 km from The Atkinson. Boasting a gym, the 4-star luxury hotel is in the very heart of the city, in close proximity to Southport Pier.

Location

This family hotel is nestled 30 m from Marine Lake. The smoke-free Waterfront Southport is approximately 5 minutes' walk from Promenade/marine Parade bus stop and just near the Wayfarers Shopping Arcade.

The accommodation also lies next to a lake, and Royal Birkdale Golf Club is 3.5 km away.

Southport train station is nearby, about a 15-minute walk away.

Rooms

Featuring a stylish interior with sound-proof windows, some of the rooms are equipped with an iron with ironing board and an air conditioner, along with wireless internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Furnished with a writing desk, these rooms have a balcony and a terrace. Offering a separate toilet, the bathrooms are fitted with bath sheets. Guests can also enjoy sea views.

Eat & Drink

The lounge bar provides you with a place to unwind. Situated right around the corner from Waterfront Southport Hotel, the bar Hungry Horse offers a British menu.

Leisure & Business

With a golf club, guests can stay fit at this Southport hotel. Corporate travellers will benefit from 4 meeting rooms available on site.

“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.”
