"There
is a rich, almost seductive opulence to this brick 1879
hostelry that comes at you in whispers and peeks."
-Sunset Magazine
Featured in Wine Spectator Magazine
as a recommended place to stay in the Sierra Foothills and
Gold Country wine regions.
Step back in time to 1879 when the Gold Rush was in full
swing, Amador City was a bustling mining town, and the
Imperial Hotel opened its doors to prosperous Victorian
hotel guests. Today the miners are gone, but Amador City
retains its historic character, and the beautifully restored
Imperial Hotel still offers a warm and gracious welcome
to visitors to the Gold Country.
Described
as “both elegant and whimsical”, with a “rich,
seductive opulence”, the Imperial Hotel is a place
where time does not stand still, but it does slow down.
Local residents and visitors mingle over cocktails in
the Oasis Bar. Hotel guests sip a glass of wine or cup
of tea on the balcony overlooking the town or on the secluded
native stone patio. A book or magazine selected from the
hotel library leads to an afternoon of lazy inactivity.
