Albert & Victoria Hotel

Alright, so you're looking for a place to kip in town? Albert & Victoria's right on the front, you can't miss it. It's one of those proper old hotels, you know, from when Southport was *the* place to be. Don't go expecting the Ritz, mind you. It's a bit… lived in. But the rooms are decent enough, and some have cracking views out over the sea. They've got a lounge with a fireplace too, which is nice when the wind's howling. Google says it's 3.9 stars from nearly 500 reviews, so people seem happy enough.

It's in a good spot for getting to the shops and restaurants on Lord Street, and obviously, you're right on the beach. Now, if you're thinking of coming for The Open at Birkdale in 2026, this place will get booked up solid, so get your skates on. It's probably better suited to couples or groups of mates rather than big families, to be honest.

Give them a ring on 01704 530072 if you fancy it. The website is albertandvictoriasouthport.co.uk if you want to have a look at the rooms.

Parking can be a pain around there, especially in summer, so factor that in. There's some on-street parking, but it fills up quickly. Check with the hotel about parking deals — they might have something sorted.
