The Imperial is a grand opulent old colonial hotel full of treasures and long wide marbled corridors oozing history. We got upgraded a large suite which was appreciated but alas the windows looked internal into the atrium of the hotel rather than external which was a problem. The staff were charming and on occasions almost overly attentive (bordering on fawning) but i guess that's what the clientele expect. Loved the location close to Connaught Place. The pool is wonderful as is the service there but alas wafts of sewage was a fairly regular occurence. Breakfast excellent and had dinner one night in Spice restaurant on site - recommended. We like it a lot but if/when we return to Delhi, i think we'd consider somewhere else in the vicinity.

Our stay at The Imperial was fantastic from start to finish. It’s such a beautiful hotel with thousands of pieces of artwork (I’d recommend asking for their free art tour). The hotel is steeped in tradition with impeccable attention to detail. We ate in the Italian restaurant and the Spice Route, both were good but the setting of the Spice Route is very unique. Highly recommended.
