The Carlton Hotel on the seafront in St Annes is to be refurbished after the owners teamed up with a local entrepreneur and secured a funding package though Natwest.
Each of the 16 bedrooms will be upgraded and the ground floor space will be revamped, including changes to the bar and Banksy’s café which will be open in the daytime to make the most of the busy tourist location.
The upgrades follow the pairing of entrepreneur Steve Smith with Roger Banks, whose family has owned the seafront hotel for 23 years.
