Imperial Hotel, also known as Hotel Greenville, is a historic hotel building located at Greenville, South Carolina. It was built in 1911–1912, and is a seven-story, “U” shaped, skyscraper with a buff colored brick veneer over a steel frame. It was originally a 90-room hotel, and expanded by 1930 to 250 rooms.[2][3] The hotel closed in the early 1970s, but this establishment is still used as a nursing home for disabled people 55 and over. An adjacent parking garage was demolished in the 1980s.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
