Grand Hotel with Front Garden Wall

The Grand Hotel, located on South Promenade in Lytham St Annes, was built in 1897 by F.W. Catterall and has undergone some alterations. It features a red brick exterior with red tile-hanging, red sandstone dressings, terracotta elements, pargetting, and red tiled roofs. The building is designed in an eclectic style and is arranged in a large U-shape, with a main range and receding wings, although the rear courtyard has been partly filled in.

The hotel stands three storeys tall and has a symmetrical facade with a configuration of 2:5:2 bays, including corner drums that slightly project forward. The central bay, styled like a three-storey Jacobean porch, features pilaster strips and a parapet adorned with terracotta panels inscribed with "AD" and "1897," along with ball finials. It includes a stone porch with banded triple columns at the corners, a frieze that reads "GRAND HOTEL," a moulded cornice, and a balcony with a balustraded parapet. The first and second floors have 3-light French windows, with the upper window leading to a stone balcony featuring ornamental iron railings.

On either side of the central bay are narrow ranges with five windows that incorporate full-height canted bays topped with pargetted gables, while the ground floor is protected by 20th-century verandahs. The wings, which are tile-hung on the top floor, have narrow inner bays with pargetted gables and prominent drums that extend above the eaves, featuring pargetted panels above the top floor windows and domed roofs with finials. The building also has various ridge chimneys, and the returned sides are styled similarly.

Inside, the hotel retains original rooms and features, including an entrance hall with a Jacobean-style staircase, a stained glass stair-window, and Jacobean-style mahogany screens in the reception office, which also includes stained glass. The dining room features moulded plasterwork and other original details.
