Prince of Wales Hotel Southport

Right, so the Prince of Wales Hotel on Lord Street. It's one of those big, old Victorian hotels right in the middle of town. Bang in the centre, so you can't miss it. It gets a 3.4 rating on Google from over 1,600 reviews, so go in with your eyes open, like. It's a proper landmark, though.

They've got a restaurant and a pub inside, which is handy, and the rooms are pretty traditional—think old-school decor. It's open 24/7, so no worries about late check-ins. I'd say it's maybe better suited for couples or groups of golfers, rather than families with young kids. If you're coming for The Open at Birkdale in 2026, it's a decent option location-wise, but book well ahead.

It's got that grand old feel to it, and the location on Lord Street is spot on for shops and getting around. Phone them on 01704 536688 if you've got any questions.

Just a heads-up: parking in town can be a pain, especially on weekends, so factor that in.
