A warm Irish welcome is guaranteed at this magnificent hotel. The combination of prime location
and excellent facilities make this the ideal venue for business events of any size or a great
base for a weekend break exploring southern Ireland. The Imperial hotel is situated in the
city centre, within a two minute walk of the main shopping and entertainment areas.
 
Twentieth century comforts have been carefully and lovingly blended with 19th century grandeur
at this majestic hotel. A host of international culinary awards testify to the standard of the
cuisine be it a la carte in Clouds restaurant, or traditional Irish fayre and beverages in
Souths Bar. In great demand for private celebrations large and small, the spectacular Ballroom
accommodates 260 guests and offers a wide choice of luncheon and banquet dinners for stylish
entertaining.
 
There is secure car parking offered close to the hotel at an additional charge. Anticipating
Cork becoming City of Culture in 2005, we have timed our renovations to be complete for this
privileged event. We are currently extending our bedroom capacity to 120 rooms, which will
include 20 executive suites. The restaurant will be totally refurbished and will retail most
of its original charm while bringing a very contemporary modern feel to the dining experience.
 
The function rooms will also have a more modern design and will feature the most up to-date
technology. There will be 5 function rooms available for conferences, meetings and trade
shows. Lafayettes our Parisian style coffee shop is a fabulous meeting place both for guests
and the public. It has a superb menu offering both savoury and desserts.
