Situated on a cliff face with stunning views across Tor Bay, the Imperial Hotel has been a glamorous destination since 1866. Agatha Christie would have regularly attended tea dances, parties and dinners here.
The hotel provided the inspiration for the Majestic Hotel in two of Christie's novels - Peril at End House and The Body in the Library. In Sleeping Murder, Miss Marple's final case, the Imperial Hotel appears as itself, with the denouement taking place on the terrace. The terrace is open to the public for drinks and bar meals.
