A Proud History on Blackpool’s Seafront
From 2018 to 2025, the property now known as Hotel Santa Maria was operated as part of the well-known Daish’s Holidays Group, welcoming thousands of guests to its prime seafront location on Blackpool’s North Promenade. During this time, the hotel became a favourite base for coach holidays and traditional seaside breaks, earning a reputation for friendly service, hearty meals, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The new ownership builds on this legacy, preserving the spirit of great British hospitality while introducing a fresh, modern approach designed for today’s independent travellers.
Before joining the Daish’s Group, the hotel was proudly run for many years as the Manhattan Hotel by Mary and Brian Holliday, whose dedication and personal touch made it a home-from-home for generations of visitors. Their commitment to guest satisfaction, loyal team of staff, and genuine care for every customer created countless happy memories and lasting friendships. The Hotel Santa Maria continues that tradition — combining the charm and warmth of its past with a renewed focus on comfort, service, and memorable stays on Blackpool’s famous seafront.
