Southport named a ‘cool’ place to visit as billionaire Microsoft CEO visits the town

Aug 25 2011 by Rob Pattinson, Visiter Newspaper.

 

FORGET trendy city bars and the hustle-bustle of London’s chic hotspots – Southport is the new king of cool.

Our town featured in two national newspaper articles about ‘cool’ places to visit last week.

 

In The Guardian’s ‘cool culture in the country’ guide, Southport’s ‘thriving’ street art scene was praised, with Ben Eine’s Up North graffiti festival artwork name checked as well as the work of Southport Contemporary Arts (SCA).

Meanwhile The Times’ travel piece ‘20 cool places to stay’ saw the town feature in 12th place, courtesy of the ‘fabulous’ pier, bars and restaurants, and a special mention for the ‘geek-chic’ British Lawnmower Museum.

Both articles recommended the ‘stylish’ Vincent Hotel on Lord Street as a place to stay while in the town. And Southport’s ‘cool’ reputation was reinforced when billionaire Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, stayed at the hotel over the weekend during a mini-break in the town.

 

Anthony Sutcliffe, hotel operations manager at the Vincent, said: “It’s great to see Southport being given some national publicity as a ‘cool’ place to visit and hopefully the hotel has helped contribute to that.

 

“The likes of Jude Law, Pink, and most recently the CEO of Microsoft have all walked through the doors of the Vincent – making for a full variation of famous people which has helped to promote Southport and make it a stand-out location across the UK.”
