The hotel will be housed within a Victorian beachfront building and will offer 21 bedrooms, a restaurant, rooftop space and spa. Bookings will open from autumn 2022.
The interiors of No 42 will be inspired by local attractions, including the amusement park Dreamland, which is home to a listed rollercoaster and menagerie cages, and the Shell Grotto, which is a collection of underground rooms and passageways covered in shell mosaics.
