The Royal Park Hotel was a large, handsome public house and hotel situated on the corner of Admiral Street and North Hill Street, Toxteth, Liverpool, England. It was built in the 1860s as a three-storey building by the brewer Walkers Warrington Ales. In its heyday, The Royal Park was just one of five pubs that lined North Hill Road.
Its name varied over the years (licensee in brackets):
- 1881: Royal Park Hotel (Mrs Mary Webster)
- 1894: Royal Park Hotel (Robert Fishlock)
- 1911: Royal Park Hotel (Joseph Pantoll)
- 1926: The Admiral Hotel (Henry Thomas)
- 1934: The Admiral Hotel (Wm Henry Taylor)
- 1938: The Royal Oak Hotel (Wm Henry Taylor)
- 1946: The Royal Park Hotel (Cyril Burns)
- 1955: Royal Park Hotel (Edward John Cook)
Some time during the 1960s it was demolished (along with all the properties on the block — including the Toxteth Masonic Hall) leaving an open space that is now part of a school. A trade directory lists it as happening in 1966 but as no landlord was named it might well have been derelict.
