The hotel extension will help to meet the growing demand from Hilton Honors guests, business visitors and tourists to the town.

It will also support the Blackpool Conference Centre and new Winter Gardens exhibition centre extension, which is expected to host future Conservative Party forums.

Create Developments has planned to complete the extension project together with its sister company Create Construction, which will offer the construction expertise for the project.

The project’s construction work is expected to take about 53 weeks to complete.

Create Developments manager Neil Holland said: “The extended capacity and improved facilities at The Hampton By Hilton in Blackpool will help to support the growth and regeneration of the town in both its tourist and business trade, especially after the pandemic and we are so proud to be playing a part in the iconic town’s development and future success.”
