The Imperial Hotel, formerly Puma Hotels Collection, is a 4-star hotel located on the northern promenade in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It was established in 1867 and is situated in a large Victorian red brick building, in what, before development, was Claremont Park.[1] Owned by Barceló Hotels for many years, it has been operated by The Hotel Collection since 10 June 2014. The hotel has 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 cover party conferences held in the town.[2] It has been used as a conference and party venue for a wide range of organisations.[3] The Queen has stayed at this hotel when visiting Blackpool, as did Charles Dickens[4] and many British Prime Ministers.[5]

The Imperial Hotel hosted concerts in its ballroom in the 1970s. Bands that performed at the Imperial Hotel include UFO, Judas Priest and Joy Division.[6]
