Midland Hotel
Morecambe
Description
The Midland Hotel is an exceptional example of Art Deco and has been described by English Heritage as ‘one of the most important 20th century buildings on the English west coast.’ Built in 1932 by early modernist Oliver Hill, the building’s curved frontage allows for sea views from every room. In the latter part of the 20th century, the hotel fell into decline as holidaymakers fell out of love with the British seaside and looked abroad for guaranteed sun. By 2000, the hotel was boarded up. Urban Splash took on the building in 2003, developing ambitious plans to restore the glamour of the original design, albeit with some significant changes to layout and access, in line with modern standards. The building was reopened in 2008 and has proved popular, revitalising the ailing northern seaside town.
