Park Hotel, Railway hotel near East Cliff, Preston, England
Park Hotel is a red-brick building in Preston that stands on a small hill overlooking the railway station and Miller Park. The structure sits in Ashton-on-Ribble and offers views toward the River Ribble.
The hotel was built in 1883 and operated under joint ownership by two railway companies: Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and London and North Western Railway. This partnership reflected the site's importance to rail travel of that era.

The hotel connected directly to the railway station through a covered footbridge at the platform's southern end. This direct link allowed passengers to travel between the building and trains without exposure to the outdoors.
