1876-7 The Prince of Wales Hotel, designed by E. Kenrick and built in 1876-7 to replace the 1805 Union Inn, was built in a domestic gothic style. This enormous structure, with its intricate boundary wall and gate piers, as well as its majesty, continues to astound today. It is considered one of Southport's premier hotels and has been listed as a grade II* listed building since 1987. The hotel originally had 120 rooms but this number has now more than doubled. Today, there are about 320 guest rooms and 22 suites available. The Prince of Wales also has 10 dining options including a steak restaurant, seafood restaurant, Italian restaurant, French restaurant, Chinese restaurant, Mexican restaurant, bakery, coffee shop, and bar.

In addition to being a hotel, The Prince of Wales can also be rented out for functions or events. They have great facilities such as a large function room that can accommodate up to 200 people and a garden area that can be used for weddings or parties.
