The Imperial Hotel, formerly Barceló Imperial Hotel, is a 4-star hotel on the Northern Promenade of Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It was established in 1867 and is situated in a large Victorian red brick building, in what, before development, was once Claremont Park.[1] Owned by Barceló Hotels for many years, it is now operated by Puma Hotels Collection. The hotel features a gold and blue facade, 180 rooms, The Palm Court Restaurant and the Number 10 Bar.
Granada Television once set up a studio in the hotel to film party conferences. [2] It has served as a conference and party venue for a wide range of societies.[3][4][5][6] The Queen has stayed at this hotel when visiting Blackpool, as did Charles Dickens.[7] [8]
