"An oasis of calm, this colonial low-rise near Connaught Place is one of the city's best bets for location, charm, and style. Rooms with high ceilings have Burmese teak and rosewood furnishings - and the on-site dining can't be beat. Editor's Pick: Gold List 2018"

"New Delhi’s original power hotel, The Imperial opened in 1936 and played host to celebrities and historic figures: It was here, rather than at Connaught Place that Pandit Nehru, Mahatama Gandhi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, and Lord Mountbatten met to discuss the partition of India and creation of Pakistan. Though renovation has lent a bit of a corporate vibe to the high-ceilinged hallways, the hotel still oozes nostalgia at every turn. A vast museum-worthy collection on display throughout public and private spaces includes life-size oil portraits of princely rulers, statuary, tapestries, old photographs, and British and Indian military and polo regalia. Rooms come in Victorian, Indian heritage, and Art Deco motifs, with marble floors, sumptuous velvet furnishings, and antique rugs. The centerpiece of the palm-studded lawn is a huge, beautifully tiled swimming pool where red-uniformed staff deliver ice-cold drinks to sunbathers in the stultifying heat, but if you prefer a moodier venue for your cocktails, the property has a library-like bar with wood-panelled walls as well as four atmospheric restaurants serving every kind of cuisine. And don’t miss the afternoon tea, enjoyed in the light-filled atrium."

This hotel is opulent. The decor is beautiful, the rooms large with good amenities. The bed was comfortable and I slept well. The male reception staff were very kind and helpful the female staff not so good. We ate in the Spice Route restaurant. This is an amazing place. The decor is magnificent. Our waiter Honey was kind, friendly and extremely helpful. Thank you Honey.|Whilst the staff are efficient and well trained I found them a trifle insincere.|Food and drink prices are high but to be expected in a hotel of this quality. I found the hotel to be beautiful in decor but too impersonal for my taste.

The Imperial Hotel is a gorgeous old hotel that is impeccably renovated with all the modern amenities. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds and lovely bathrooms. What most impressed us though was the service. From the minute we walked in and were greeted by name, checked in without any effort on our part and escorted to our room, throughout the stay, the staff went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful. The period art throughout the hotel made us feel like we were in an art gallery. |We will definitely be back!

Our family of five had the pleasure of staying at The Imperial Hotel in Delhi to ring in the New Year, and it was an experience we will cherish forever. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel so welcome. Every single member of staff was warm, smiling, and genuinely eager to help, nothing was ever too much trouble.||The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. Spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and of exceptional quality in every respect. The attention to detail throughout the property is remarkable, making it a true haven of luxury and comfort.||A particular highlight for us was the incredible hospitality shown by Yogesh and his team at the 1911 Bar. On New Year’s Eve, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a truly memorable evening. The service was phenomenal, attentive, personal, and carried out with such charm and grace. Rajesh and his team really set the tone for an unforgettable celebration, and we cannot thank them enough for making us feel so special.||This hotel is an absolute gem, not just because of its grandeur and impeccable standards, but because of its people. It’s rare to find such genuine warmth and care, and for that reason, we would wholeheartedly recommend The Imperial to anyone visiting Delhi. Thank you for an extraordinary start to our year! We can’t wait to return.

The staff is incredible and the service is unmatched. Few names to shout out are Bharti, Yogesh at the 1911 bar took care of providing great recommendations and service until the dinner. He went above and beyond to see the comfort of the guests. The restaurant staff were very attentive which was great to see. Took a tour of the artwork by Iris and she did an great job. Definitely will be coming back and highly recommend of the class and service!

We had a beautiful lunch here, Aman and Tanushka were especially polite and provided the most excellent service. They made sure we had a fabulous time. The food was extremely tasty and did not take very much time at all to be served. We also had tea which was delicious and presented very nicely.

We stayed at The Imperial Delhi three times during our visit to India and it was by far our favourite hotel of our trip. |The hotel and rooms are beautiful, the staff and service are first class. We tried all three restaurants whilst there and would highly recommend.
