The Midland Hotel

About The Midland Hotel

The Midland Hotel is in a different category entirely. A Grade II* listed Art Deco masterpiece built in 1933, with a west-facing terrace (270°) that looks directly across Morecambe Bay to the Lake District fells. On a clear evening, the view from a table here — sun dropping behind the Lakeland mountains, bay turning gold — is about as good as outdoor drinking gets in England.

Sun and outdoor setting

The Midland Hotel has a west-facing terrace (270°), which means it typically catches the best sun early afternoon into the evening. The large outdoor space is sheltered, making it a reasonable option even on breezier days.
