The building itself was built from 1871, opening in 1873 and was granted grade II status in 1976. The hotel was built during a period of great economic growth in Barrow, the town was home to the largest steelworks in the world and one of the most important shipyards in the country. The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel soon became Barrow's most prestigious and attracted dignitaries and celebrities from across the world; some of the more notable examples being Charlie Chaplin, D. H. Lawrence and Cary Grant. In 2006, The Duke of Edinburgh Hotel was bought by C2 Investment (Lancaster Brewery) who spent in excess of £3.5 million renovating the building inside and out.
