The Imperial is exactly what you'd expect from a luxury city hotel, so I won't waste time adding further praise (although I do want to say that the staff are some of the most welcome, without being intrusive, that I have met).

Expensive by India standards but a lovely luxurious treat in crazy Delhi. Great breakfast and option to take some with you to enjoy later in the day. Staff were very helpful and polite. Lots of auto rickshaws outside hotel to take you wherever you want to go.

The Imperial Hotel met every expectation. We arranged for the hotel to have a driver meet us at the airport which eased our entry into New Delhi after a long flight from Newark. Upon arrival at the hotel, we were escorted through check-in and escorted through the magnificent lobby to our room. The public spaces our beautiful and our room... More

The lobby and rooms have the most elegant decor. The service is extra good; everyone is so eager to please, and the hotel staff are all so pleasant. The restaurants have wonderful food and again excellent service.

A wonderful hotel, beautfuly decorated with numerous prints. Very good food in a selection of restaurants and very helpful staff who all spoke perfect English. Surrounded by lovely gardens it is right in the heart of Delhi but surprisingly quiet. A great place to recover from a long flight.

From the moment you arrive, you feel warmly greeted but not overly so. There is something peaceful about being greeted by "Namaste." The place smells fabulous. They say it's their own special mix of essential oils. The spa is lovely and you will feel totally pampered. It's very tranquil and the facilities are in impeccable condition. There are several wonderful... More

Beautifully built and decorated restaurant meant to resemble a Thai Temple. Excellent service--- fast, friendly, helpful and unpretentious. Rohit, who coordinates service, was especially helpful. Quality food-- many Thai favorites with nice presentation and care on level of spice-- adapted to one's prefereces. Prices are high (2,600 INR for two with simple meals and soft drinks) but worth it for... More

We have developed a tradition now, after several trips, of finishing our journeys in India with a night in the Imperial on Janpath in Delhi. This is because we have always found it to be just the most marvellous place. We have celebrated birthdays and anniversaries there, and on this occasion it was my wife's birthday. We were thinking twice... More
