The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel

The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel is a 4-star luxury hotel located on Abbey Road in Barrow-in-Furness, England.[1] The building itself was built from 1871, opening in 1873 and was granted grade II status in 1976.[2][3] The hotel was built during a period of great economic growth in Barrow, the town was home to the largest steelworks in the world and one of the most important shipyards in the country.[2] The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel soon became Barrow's most prestigious and attracted dignitaries and celebrities from across the world; some of the more notable examples being Charlie Chaplin, D. H. Lawrence and Cary Grant.[2]

In 2006, The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel was bought by C2 Investment (Lancaster Brewery) who spent in excess of £3.5 million renovating the building inside and out.[2] The hotel now includes 51 en-suite bedrooms, the 'Consort Bar and Grill' as well as a 100 capacity sub terranean function room called the Vault.[2]
