Sleepwell Hotels re-opened The Carousel in 2004 after extensive refurbishment and renovation. It is now graded by the AA as Blackpool's highest rated 3-star hotel. Situated on Blackpool's pleasant New South Promenade, the Carousel incorporates 92 en-suite bedrooms, the superb Restaurant 21, a relaxing lounge bar and the fully equipped Fylde conference and events suite. The calm atmosphere at The Carousel contrasts with Blackpool's more central hotels and a direct tram link to the town centre and the seafront attractions provides guests the best of both worlds. Staying at the Carousel places guests within easy reach of both the Pleasure beach and the lovely Fylde countryside. Lytham St Annes, is also found close at hand and the traditional seaside resort has a wide range of leisure attractions, restaurants and bars as well as its world famous golf course.
