The Imperial Hotel, formerly Puma Hotels Collection, is a 4-star hotel on the Northern Promenade of Blackpool, Lancashire, England. It was established in 1867 and is situated in a large Victorian red brick building, in what, before development, was once Claremont Park. Owned by Barceló Hotels for many years, it is now operated by The Hotels Collection since 10 June 2014. The hotel features 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 film party conferences. It has served as a conference and party venue for a wide range of societies. The Queen has stayed at this hotel when visiting Blackpool, as did Charles Dickens and many UK Prime Ministers.
