The Imperial in Blackpool

Apart from being a grand old Victorian hotel, largely (in a good way) unspoiled by reckless modernisation, what really sets this hotel apart are the staff. The hotel manager, Alison, has a fantastic team - all of whom genuinely care about customers and providing good, caring and above all, friendly service. The restaurant (the recently refurbished, Palm Court) provides a wonderful setting for a hearty breakfast and some wonderful dinners (well done Chefs and your colleagues in the kitchens) - all made more enjoyable by the waiting staff, headed up by the wonderful and convivial host, Ron. In terms of UK Seaside Hotels, we’ve yet to find it’s better and will definitely be returning many more times.

Our stay at the Imperial Hotel has been very pleasant. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room rate was reasonable for the size of room. There was no fridge in the room which could be improved upon especially during hot summer months. Breakfast was very enjoyable with a good selection of fruit, cheese, cereal and croissant. The hot food was very good and a good variety on the hot plate. Tea and coffee was brought to the table and everything else was self service. I would stay here again because the hotel very close to the centre (Blackpool tower).

Great place to stay. Very, very good. Okay so it has faded a little but is still glorious. The Palm Court Restaurant is probably the best in Blackpool, wide range of rooms to choose from and ours with sea views was great. The staff, all of them, were extremely professional. Can’t wait to return.

Lovely classic English Hotel. The rooms may not be up to the latest, modern standards but that's more than compensated by the charm and character of the delightful communal areas. If you want a relaxing stay with old fashioned English opulence then this is the place.

Kettle and milk provided but no coffee or tea bags provided but the Sainsburys quite close by can fix that.Very friendly staff, very clean rooms, refreshing sleep, extremely lovely stone baked pizza, great light blocking curtains.Great storage spaces and room size and mirrors but hard to close window effected getting to sleep and might effect light sleepers.

This is a delightful hotel. The evening meal was delicious. We had a trio of beets that needed to be slightly thinner but gorgeous none the less. You simply must have the coconut panacota best I have had in years. The breakfast was a delight as others have said with great coffee. Not always good in my experience. The room was spacious and brilliant bed, lovely and clean too.Sadly for me, I forgot my very expensive camera and had to return 110 miles to collect it. The domestic team had handed it in and the management called to say we had left something. Tried calling them back and after a number of attempts over 90 minutes decided I just need to collect it. Left a £20 reward for the domestic staff and seriously my undying gratitude. Chap at reception said he would ensure the lady concerned would receive her reward. Highly recommended hotel and we hope to come again if this part of the world. Summary, go if you want service, tasty food oh...you are right on the sea front too.

Absolutely fantastic stay here at the Imperial hotel 🤩 Our rooms got a great sea view 🌞 evening 3 course meal was mouth watering, so full of flavours n fresh ingredients too.

Come n stay n enjoy the hospitality the Imperial hotel offers.We’ve gad a very well deserved break Thank you 😊

We got to the hotel in good time for check in to tea, coffee and cake. Our room was beautiful, the imperial is like an old palace. The staff there cannot do enough for you. The beds were comfortable, it was perfect. Loved breakfast, cannot wait to do it again x 💖

Great building on the outside but inside the decor needs updating. Hotel room was in need of attention with old dated furniture and appearance. Breakfast was just ok. Evening meal you have to pay for separately and although beautifully presented it was over priced for what you get. Be warned that you have to pay £9 per night to use their own private car park!

Fantastic place to stay as Blackpool is notorious for cheap seaside bed and breakfasts. This was most definitely not one of those. A real hotel 😉.The hotel itself was excellent. The lobby, lounge and bar areas were superb.The rooms were a little dated and rundown but still clean and functional. Nice to see a 32" TV, for a change.The food in the restaurant was absolutely fabulous. Reasonably priced and definitely better than 3* pub grub. Could not fault that.Breakfast was similarly very good and extremely varied, which made a nice change. Still a serve yourself buffet style, so you know what you are getting there.All in all, a great hotel in a popular location. We will definitely never take a cheap b&b in Blackpool ever again.
