Grand and glamourous, this opulent heritage Colonial hotel puts you in the heart of Connaught Place: a prime position in the city. Steeped in history, the Imperial has more than 2,500 original photographs and medals (including the Victoria Cross) hanging from its walls. It’s vibrant here, and there’s always a hum of activity from one of the bars and restaurants. If you want to be in the middle of the action surrounded by beauty and luxury, this is the place to stay.
The Imperial is quite formal and refined, so if you’d prefer a more low-key casual affair, it might not be for you. Plenty of people come to the restaurants and bars just to be seen there. But for good reason: they are spectacular (especially their latest restaurant, The Spice Route). The Imperial's swimming pool is also impressive and makes for the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.
235 freshly renovated rooms are furnished in warm neutral shades with dark wood accents. You can expect to find all the usual luxury amenities. For a bit of extra space, go for a Grand Heritage room.
What makes the Imperial so refreshing is that although it’s certainly luxurious and refined (without being over the top), it also welcomes the faster Indian pace of life into its common spaces rather than shutting it out behind closed doors.
Come here to be seen, to get involved in the action, and to explore Delhi.
