4-star Victorian seafront hotel with nightly live entertainment in Blackpool
History & Architecture
The Imperial Hotel first opened in 1867 and is a Grade II listed building with preserved Victorian features. The hotel has hosted numerous Prime Ministers and politicians in its history, with the No. 10 bar named in tribute to these guests. A heritage tour led by the hotel's ambassador Chris explores the building's original character, including the recently rediscovered Turkish baths and a possible former tunnel to the Winter Gardens.
Dining & Entertainment
Guests dine in the Palm Court Restaurant, which serves a three-course evening meal with table service, and buffet breakfast with cooked and continental options. The hotel offers nightly live entertainment, including singers and live music performances, in the bar and concert room. The No. 10 bar serves signature cocktails such as the Mayflower and offers a selection of beers, wines, and spirits.
Accommodation
The hotel offers 161 rooms, including Standard Double Rooms, Deluxe Sea View rooms, and split-level suites in the tower. All rooms include a private bathroom, tea/coffee facilities, a safe, and a hairdryer; some have a fridge and trouser press. Family rooms accommodate up to four guests with a king-size bed and single bed, and accessibility rooms with grab rails and wheelchair access are available.
Family & Accessibility
Children under a certain age eat free from the kids' menu, and the hotel provides an indoor play area and a kid-friendly buffet. The hotel has facilities for disabled guests, including wheelchair-accessible entrances, lifts to all floors, and an accessible parking space. Pets are allowed with pet bowls provided, and the hotel offers a 24-hour front desk and express check-in/check-out.
