Butlin's Metropole Hotel - The Bailey's Hotel

Exploring the Butlins Metropole hotel has been a rewarding journey for me, as I learned about its incredible history and gained considerable respect for this important location. Beginning with the name Bailey's Hotel (also called Baileys Inn), I started to uncover the history of this hotel, which revealed the significance of the site and the passion the owners have shown over time. The research I conducted is divided into two parts, focusing on the Baileys era and the Metropole Hotel era, which are characterised by two unique hotel designs.

Chapter 1:  This will show you all the research that I have made about the Baileys Inn era and how the hotel developed from day one. You can see advertisements and read about how the hotel developed over time until it was sold in the late 1890s to become the Metropole Hotel. 

Chapter 2:  This page will show you the story of the name its known today as the Metropole Hotel. From the late 1890's, I look into the story of the site including the important Butlins era with advertisements and any relevant information that I have found. 

At the bottom of each page will be these buttons giving you and option to look at either chapter.

Who and What is Butlin's Memorabilia Website
The Butlins Memorabilia website was originally established as a place on the internet where people could view Mark Banks' Butlins collections. As a passionate enthusiast of the brand, Mark took the initiative to explore the extensive history that led to the website's transformation. Now, the Butlins Memorabilia site has matured into a historical education platform, demonstrating to visitors the meaningful ways in which Butlins has fostered joy and created unforgettable memories.

Are you the official Butlins Archive?
There exists only ONE official website that represents Butlins and that is located at www.butlins.com. The Butlins Memorabilia website is NOT the official archive of Butlins, nor does it serve as the authentic historical record of this extraordinary company. Butlins and their respective parent company have no role in the development of this site and have not participated in its creation. The singular official source for all Butlins information is the one indicated above. This site is strictly a fan-created platform, and any material presented here should be viewed as unofficial. Butlins and their esteemed parent company have NOT reached out to me to create this site, nor have they requested me to promote them. I undertake this effort solely to demonstrate my appreciation for their remarkable name and brand.

Can I get in touch with you about my situation at Butlins for some help?
For any issues related to bookings, inquiries on how to use the app, or to file a complaint, it is essential to follow the official procedure by contacting Butlins directly. Unfortunately, the Butlins Memorabilia website is not equipped to handle these matters, and no assistance can be provided through this platform. Complaints must be directed to Butlins, as they are the only ones capable of addressing them; this site lacks the direct control or involvement necessary to assist. The sole website that can provide help is the Butlin's official site, www.butlins.com. Everything you need can be found there, including their contact page, which is available on this link, and assistance with the Butlins app can be found on this link.
