In the heart of New Delhi The Imperial is the city’s leading luxury hotel. Immediately outside the gates of this prestigious property you are in the midst of the commercial and business district of the nation’s capital, with restaurants, great shopping and major sights all within easy reach.
The Imperial is and always has been one of India’s leading hotels. Located in the heart of New Delhi its history goes back to 1934 when it was designed to be the finest monument in Lutyens’ grand vision of the Capital City’s original master plan. Blomfield designed the Hotel with a unique blend of Victorian, old colonial and a playful dosage of informal art deco; Lady Willingdon looked after the interior designing and it was she who gave the hotel its name.
The Imperial’s pillared verandahs, dining rooms, tea lounges, Royal Ballroom and cool and spacious gardens became the venue of many celebrated encounters between the British and Indian aristocracy and gentry. The hotel is replete with tableware from London, Italian marble floors, Burma teak and rosewood furniture, fountains from Florence, original Daniell’s and Frazer’s on walls and the best of Indian furniture.
The Imperial - a unique low-rise structure creates the aura of the early 19th century English manor. Extensive restorations over the last five years once again assure The Imperial’s place amongst the best hotels in the world. Internationally renowned interior designers have worked on the brief to restore the Hotel to its original character and glory, subtly incorporating technology and modern day facilities in the rooms. The Imperial still retains its relationship with the era of gracious living and personalized service that is far-removed from the slick silicon style of modern hotels.

I have stayed in this hotel a few times and was stunned by the haven that it is. In the middle of bustling New Delhi it is a tranquil and luxurious hotel to stay in. Attention to detail in the rooms and public parts of the hotel and general service are of a very high standard. I would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here. The breakfast in the conservatory is wonderful - one thing to be sure of in the Imperial and in India is great tea!! The spa area was pretty average when I stayed here but I think has since been renovated. However the treatments were great and very relaxing.
