About the Hotel
Hotel Sheraton is located on the highest point of Blackpool's Victorian northern promenade. It has evolved over time as the owners have
purchased adjoining buildings to extend it to its current size. A major refurbishment of the Ground Floor public areas has been completed
to a high standard, the layout of which we feel lends itself very well for our use. Further refurbishment of the accommodation floors is
ongoing - the hotel closes each January so that guests are undisturbed by this.
The hotel is owned my Mr & Mrs John McPhee. Locals may remember John from his days when he played for Blackpool FC. He is regularly seen
within the hotel and is always happy to chat - many of his replies coming by song! Their daughter, Tara, is the General Manager, and we are
being looked after by Andrea Carter - Assistant to General Manager.
There are three lounges. A 'quiet' lounge for those wanting to read a book for instance, the main lounge leads to the function room via wide
sliding doors, and the bar lounge just off the main lounge. All three are well served by two double-sided bars.
The dining room is the largest of the public rooms and it is likely that it will double-up as our main function room since it will seat up
to around 220.
In addition to the main hotel there is also Sheraton Lodge providing a further 22 bedrooms - making 126 in all.
Once again members should book directly with the hotel, and early booking is highly recommended as there is no supplement for Sea View or
Superior rooms, and these will be allocated on a first-come basis depending on length of stay.

Car Parking
The Hotel is fronted by around 16 public spaces. During our visits we have found these to be regularly fully occupied. However, since
we have been given virtual total occupancy of the hotel for the weekend, we should be able to utilise these spaces as they become available.
To one side of the hotel there is space for around 18 cars. This space will have to be managed as, once in, it won't be easy to get out. We suggest that
only guests staying for the weekend without a need to use their cars should park here. A further 6 spaces lie to the side and front of Sheraton Lodge
There is a considerable amount of on-street parking available to both sides of the hotel.
The large public car park at Gynn Square (£1.50 for 12 hours) is about 10 minutes walk away.
