Imperial Palace is the last and longest novel by author Arnold Bennett.
The central character, Evelyn Orcham, is the director of the hotel.
While the novel was successful in its time, it was overshadowed by Vicki Baum's best-selling novel, Menschen im Hotel (People in a Hotel) published the same year and later turned into the Academy Award winning film, Grand Hotel.
