The Barceló Imperial Hotel is situated prominently on Blackpool’s North Promenade, just a short walk from the North Pier. The Hotel benefits from being on the quieter, more picturesque North Shore. Built in the late 1800s, the beautiful Victorian hotel has recently been restored to its former glory. Over 4 million has been invested by Barceló Group of Hotels over the last couple of years making the quality of bedrooms, bars, restaurants and meetings facilities outstanding. One of the Imperial’s earliest guests, Charles Dickens, described the hotel as ’charming’.
