4-star Victorian seafront hotel with nightly live entertainment in Blackpool
History & Architecture
Imperial Hotel Blackpool first opened in 1867 and retains original Victorian features throughout the building. The Churchill room displays memorabilia related to Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who stayed at the hotel. Mahogany panelled corridors and the original Palm Court restaurant with high ceilings reflect the hotel's historic grandeur.
Entertainment & Activities
The hotel offers live entertainment every night, including singers and musicians performing in the No.10 bar. Guests can also use the games room and indoor soft play area for children. Billiards, bingo, and live sport event screenings provide additional options for evening leisure.
Dining
Breakfast is served as a buffet in the Palm Court restaurant, with hot and cold options including cooked English breakfast items. The No.10 bar offers casual dining with a snack menu, while the restaurant provides a three-course dinner menu available for pre-booking at a discounted rate. Special diet menus, kids' meals, and a kid-friendly buffet are available on request.
Rooms & Accommodations
Room categories include standard double rooms, standard family rooms, deluxe double rooms with sea views, and split-level tower suites. Master suites feature separate lounge areas with tables and chairs, and some rooms provide direct sea views from the front of the hotel. Family rooms offer extra bedding options such as fold-up camp beds on request.
Location & Accessibility
The hotel sits directly on Blackpool's seafront with a tram stop opposite the building, providing access to the Promenade, North Pier, and the town centre. It is a 12-minute walk from the train station and within 20 minutes of Winter Gardens, Coral Island, and Blackpool Tower. On-site private parking is available for a fee of £9 to £14 per night, and the hotel offers wheelchair accessible rooms and facilities for disabled guests.

“My exploration reveals a property that understands true value, where even a simple tea facility feels like a thoughtful touch. The location, set back from the main bustle, grants a welcome calm, and the bar staff certainly know their way around a cocktail. It strikes me as a place that prioritizes comfort and affordability, particularly with its surprisingly spacious rooms and accessible parking.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Uklancashire
