Midland Hotel, Morecambe
An Art Deco masterpiece that curves along Morecambe Bay, the Midland Hotel has often been compared to a luxury ocean liner, all thanks to its uninterrupted watery views of the sea.
Built in 1933, there are 44 lovely rooms with modern furniture and bright soft furnishings – many having their own balconies and sea views.
The Sun Terrace restaurant is wall-to-wall glass with sensational views all the way to the Lakeland Fells. The AA-Rosette restaurant serves locally-sourced menus.
Don’t miss Crook O’Lune, the location for one of JMW Turner’s paintings and the historic and beautiful Leighton Hall, home to furniture-makers the Gillow Family. ■■Doubles from £252 per room, per night, B&B (in May), englishlakes.co.uk
