Name change for long-standing hotel in Morecambe

A long-standing Morecambe seafront hotel has undergone a change of name.

Signs went up outside the Headway Hotel in Morecambe over the weekend to signify a change of name to Bay Roomz.

Bay Roomz is advertising a function room for hire and weekly contract rates for people wanting to stay.

Workers have been on site in recent weeks clearing out and refurbishing the hotel on Marine Road East, which has been shut for three years since its previous owners The Carlauren Group went into administration.

The hotel was then sold to Leyland-based Blackpool Pubs Ltd.

Blackpool Pubs Ltd had not commented on the future of the hotel at time of writing but we were told, on-site, last Tuesday, that the building would be reopening as a hotel.

At time of writing, the advertised phone number and website on the Bay Roomz sign outside the hotel were not connected.

According to Companies House, Bay Roomz Ltd, based at 400 Marine Road East in Morecambe, was officially formed as a company on November 9.

Last week Paul Bury, owner of the Lothersdale Hotel in Morecambe, welcomed the investment in the Headway by the new owners, given the expected announcement by the end of 2022 on whether the planned Eden Project North attraction will receive funding from the government.

"The hotel is seeing investment, it’s saved from deteriorating further and potentially becoming a blot on the townscape," said Mr Bury.

"It has secured the long-term position for the hotel within the town and with Eden's announcement imminent it’s vital that hotel rooms are made available for the expected increase in visitors."
