A long-closed former Morecambe seafront hotel and night-spot is set to go up for auction.
The Queens Hotel on Marine Road Central will go under the hammer on Wednesday, January 14 at a guide price of £275,000 plus fees.
The 19th century Grade II listed venue has been shut for around a decade but was a popular hotel and nightclub in its heyday.
Auctioneers Auction House North West said: "The Queens Hotel, 273–274 Marine Road Central, presents a significant seafront redevelopment and investment opportunity in one of Morecambe’s most high-profile locations.
"Set directly on the promenade with uninterrupted views across the bay, the property occupies a substantial footprint and offers exceptional scope for investors, developers or operators looking to capitalise on the town’s rapidly evolving landscape. Its prominent position, generous internal layout and strong frontage make it suitable for a wide variety of future uses with relevant permissions.
"The building lends itself particularly well to full redevelopment or a comprehensive repositioning scheme.
"Its scale and configuration mean it could be transformed into a modern hotel operation, an apart-hotel concept, high-quality residential accommodation or a mixed-use development, all subject to the necessary planning consents.
"The current owner has had plans drawn which are available upon request."
The online auction starts at noon, at the Auction House North West website.
The Queens has also been known as Pacha's and Baroque during its history.
