4- and 5-star hotels in Lytham St Annes
This shortlist gathers the 4- and 5-star hotels of Lytham St Annes, from large spa resorts to small serviced apartments. It is for couples, families, golfers and business travellers who want a comfortable Fylde coast base with the beach, the pier and Lytham Green within easy reach.
Staying in Lytham St Annes
Lytham St Annes is a Fylde coast town made of two distinct parts. Lytham has a historic windmill and a green, while St Annes has a wide beach and a traditional pier. It is known for its sandy beaches and for Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club, and it sits about a 15-minute drive south of Blackpool, with a quieter atmosphere of its own.
The hotels here are spread across the town. Several sit on or near the seafront at Clifton Drive, South Promenade and North Promenade, close to the beach and pier. Others stand inland around Church Road and Clifton Square in Lytham, near the Green, the windmill and the independent shops, and in the residential Fairhaven area. That makes the list suit couples on a seaside break, families who want room to spread out, golfers, and business travellers who prefer a calmer base than Blackpool.

Where to stay in Lytham St Annes
St Annes
St Annes offers the classic seaside experience with a pier, promenade and sandy beach, plus a good choice of hotels and guesthouses. The addresses here cluster on Clifton Drive, South Promenade, North Promenade and Victoria Road, so beach and pier are close at hand whether you take a sea-facing room or a serviced apartment.
Our picks here: Hy Lytham St Annes · Mode · Queens Court · Howarth House · Howarth House Apartments · Mode Apartments St Annes · Manhattan Lodge
Lytham
Lytham is centred around the Green and the windmill, with a more village-like atmosphere, independent shops and restaurants. The Rooms on Church Road, Pippin Lodge on Park Street, Mode Hotel Lytham on Clifton Square and The County Hotel by Innkeeper's Collection on Church Road all place you within this village setting rather than on the seafront.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Lytham St Annes is on the Fylde coast in Lancashire, with two railway stations, Lytham and St Annes-on-the-Sea, served from Blackpool South and Preston. By road it sits near the M55 motorway, which connects to the M6; from North Yorkshire you would typically travel via the M6 and M55, a journey of around two hours by car. Blackpool Airport is nearby but has limited commercial flights. Once in town, local buses run between Lytham, St Annes and Blackpool, and the area is fairly flat, making walking and cycling practical.
When to go
Late spring to early autumn is the best window, when the weather is mild and the beaches and gardens are at their best. Summer brings the most visitors, especially during school holidays, and events such as the Lytham Festival draw crowds, so book early then. Spring and autumn are quieter and well suited to golf and walks, while winter can be cold and windy, though the town remains open for short breaks.
