Midland Hotel, Morecambe
Reception.
In 1932, the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) bought land from Morecambe Corporation to build the 40 bedroom 'Midland Hotel'. It opened in July 1933.
The hotel is designed in the Streamline Moderne style of Art Deco. Oliver Hill designed a three-storey curving building, with a central circular tower containing the entrance and a spiral staircase, and a circular café at the north end. The front of the hotel is decorated with two Art Deco seahorses.
The Hotel was much restored by Urban Splash, commencing 2006 and reopened to the public in the Summer of 2008.
