Alice in Wonderland-themed hotel up for grabs

An Alice in Wonderland-themed venue called Hatters Hotel in Skegness is set to go under the hammer with a £650,000 guide price.
Recently named Britain’s most unique hotel after being featured on Channel 4’s Four in a Bed, the 29-bedroom hotel was bought by Gary and Dee Allen in 2021.
The couple transformed the 23,000 sq ft former Crown Hotel, which had been closed for 30 years, into an enchanting space filled with Disney-inspired characters.
Located next to Seacroft Golf Course it includes en-suite guest rooms, several bars, a restaurant, and function rooms for weddings and events.
Ed Feather, a director at Pugh said: “The upcoming auction will be a great opportunity to buy this large hotel that has been lovingly transformed into its own version of Wonderland, right here in Skegness.
“The Alice theme is not integral to the building however and the hotel could easily be redesigned with a fresh aesthetic in the hands of new owners. There is also the potential for redevelopment, subject to a buyer gaining the necessary planning consent. Residential accommodation is one option and plans have already been drawn to convert part of the property into nine self-contained apartments.”
