History
Hotel History
The site of the CBeebies Land Hotel has long been earmarked as a potential site of further resort accommodation, with the first planning permission granted for the former Alton Towers Hotel Garden back in 2006. Rather than a stand alone hotel, those original plans for the site would have seen an extension to the Alton Towers Hotel, which would have added a new wing of suites, as well as an expansion for the Alton Towers Spa.
Despite being granted permission those plans were never acted upon and eventually lapsed and instead the resort eventually decided to develop the Enchanted Village as their next accommodation expansion. The plans for the village emerged alongside a new plan for a Spa Expansion in 2014, which was also approved by the council. Again however the plans were not acted upon and the Spa Expansion was eventually superseded by the plans for a whole new hotel, which would in fact see the Spa shrink in size.
Plans for the new hotel emerged over the Summer of 2015 and were followed swiftly by rumours that the clearly family orientated facility would compliment the popular new CBeebies Land in the park. Construction on the new hotel started in June 2016 and by the end of that summer it had been officially announced as the CBeebies Land Hotel. Construction lasted for just over a year and the new hotel opened its doors on 8th July 2017.
When the hotel first opened it featured 14 hours of shows each day from 7:30am through to 9:30pm. In 2018 the shows were scaled back to start at 2:30pm, just before check-in opens, no doubt due to most families heading on park in the mornings. As part of the changes the Get Up & Go with Tree Fu Tom show was cut from the line up, as well as morning meet & Greets with Bing and Ubercorn.
