The Imperial Hotel is a must if you are traveling to the Foothills. The historic hotel is charming and you can choose your rooms from their website before you go. Sitting on the balcony overlooking Amador City was a highlight of the trip. Make sure that if you want to stay in the hotel that you get one of the... More

A stay in the Imperial Hotel will provide you with a glance back in history. Located in the heart of California Gold Rush country this rustic old hotel has maintained much of the charm that was so prevalent in the mid 1800's during the gold rush days. I suspect that at least some if not all of the furniture in... More

This is a review of the restaurant; we did not stay in the hotel. There are not too many noteworthy restaurants in the Amador foothills but this is one of them. For those readers who do not wish to read my full review,, the primary reasons I enjoy this restaurant are: • It’s location in quiet and charming Amador City.... More

The Imperial Hotel in the tiny Gold Country town of Amador City in the Sierra Nevada foothills is more than 100 years old. That means the floors creak, the stairs are somewhat steep, and a giant ceiling fan cools the room in summer. That's all part of its charm. Add to that, it's perched on the edge of the town... More

We heard about the Imperial Hotel from one of the local wineries in the Sierra Foothill area. It is located in Amador City, a very small, interesting town. The owner met us on our arrival and checked us in, she was a very pleasant person. When we called to reserve a room, there had been two rooms available and we... More

I should have paid attention to the pevious reviews - but instead I let the hotel assign me the room. I was up on the hill in the cottages - which seemed actually good since I wanted to avoid traffic noise - BUT I did not expect to get a room that is basically windowless! If at least somebody had...

We stayed one night (1 July) after leaving the Cal Neva at Lake Tahoe. The room was antiquated, which one would expect from an old 1860s restored hotel, but was air conditioned. A good breakfast of pancakes, bacon, juice and coffee was served in the dining room the next morning. We were a trio, wife, grandson and myself. The room... More

We would love to review the Imperial Hotel, however, when we booked our room, we were not aware that our stay wouldn't actually be at the hotel, but in another building. Our room was in their "suites" located a full block away and up a hill. Unfortunately, the concept of an annex was not made entirely clear to us and... More

We spent the night here over memorial day weekend. This hotel is BEAUTIFUL! tons of character, friendly staff (most of them), great bar downstairs, awesome breakfast. Well thought out rooms. We were with our little girl, but this is definitely a place for a romantic getaway. the restaurant also looks very inviting for dinner. Two little bad points (notice the... More
