Imperial Hotel Blackpool, North Promenade, Blackpool, FY1 2HB, UK

The hotel is perfectly positioned on the quieter North Shore, yet the vibrant heart of Blackpool is just a leisurely stroll away. You can hop on a heritage tram right outside to glide along the coastline, or take a 15-minute walk to reach the iconic Blackpool Tower, where the famous ballroom and circus await. For a touch of nature, the award-winning Stanley Park is approximately a 10-minute drive, offering 390 acres of formal gardens and a boating lake, while the wildlife of Blackpool Zoo is just a short drive further.

Thrill-seekers are well-catered for with the Blackpool Pleasure Beach located three miles south, home to record-breaking rollercoasters and the family-friendly Nickelodeon Land. In the autumn months, the world-famous Blackpool Illuminations transform the promenade into a six-mile spectacle of light. For a cultural afternoon, visit the Winter Gardens complex to admire its majestic Victorian architecture or catch a West End show at the nearby Grand Theatre.
