Entertainment

After spending the day on your feet at the theme park, you can return to your room to relax. If you still have the energy you can explore the Alton Towers Waterpark which is attached to the hotel, or head to Ma Garrita’s Bar for live entertainment! With this entertainment typically more geared towards younger guests, you may also wish to head across the hotel walkway to the Alton Towers Hotel’s atrium to enjoy a drink while listening to live vocalists.

Check in is from 3pm, although you can check in earlier if your room is ready. There’s always the option to leave your luggage with the porters if you wish to enjoy the resort’s attractions, and your luggage will be waiting in your room for you. Checkout is at 10am, and you can always leave your luggage with the porters, to collect at the end of the day. The option of a later checkout is available at an additional charge. Don’t forget to visit The Shack, a small shop found on the reception level, which is the ideal place to buy your hotel and theme park souvenirs.

All standard rooms in the Splash landings hotel are themed Beachcomber bedrooms. Most of these rooms will sleep up to 4 people, but there are also larger family rooms which can sleep up to 6 people.

A standard hotel stay includes the bed and breakfast option, as well as a 9-hole round of Extraordinary Golf, however you can also add-on theme park tickets and entrance to the water park at the online rate. If you have an annual pass you can also receive discounts on your stay.

Plans

Ideas for Alton Towers’ second hotel first emerged in 1997 and were steadily worked up into detailed proposals by Tussauds Group’s in-house design team. As well as a hotel, the development would also include a water park and conference centre.
