Best hotel in Delhi by far. Large rooms and ideal location. Recommend to eat at San Gimignano. I was served by Luceeta and Puneesh, best food I’ve had in India (lamb pasta).

I finally visited *San Gimignano* for the first time, and I have only one complaint... *Why did nobody drag me here earlier?!* The place is gorgeous, the vibe is straight out of Italy, and if calories weren't a thing, I'd have applied for permanent residency. The experience started with Assistant F&B Manager *Mr. Ashutosh*, who deserves his own Netflix documentary. The man doesn't just welcome guests—he takes you on a time-travel journey through the legacy of The Imperial. I came for lunch, but left with a history lesson... and I loved every minute of it. Then entered *Puneesh*, the restaurant manager and, apparently, the CEO of "Trust Me, You'll Love It." I blindly followed every recommendation he made, and not once did he betray my taste buds. The complimentary house-made focaccia? Dangerous. They should legally warn people that one basket is never enough. The tomato soup tasted like tomatoes finally fulfilled their life's purpose. The signature Marinara Spaghetti? Every strand was so perfect that I briefly considered apologizing to every pasta I've eaten before. And then... *TIRAMISU.* Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls... I have seen the light. I'm convinced this wasn't dessert—it was therapy served in a bowl. Every bite whispered, "Everything will be okay." If someone had tried to take it away from me, we'd have had an international incident. Travelling with a baby usually means one parent eats while the other negotiates with a tiny dictator. But Puneesh came to the rescue with a high chair and an adorable soft toy, buying us enough peace to actually enjoy our meal. Absolute legend. Just before we left, Mr. Ashutosh came back to check if everything was satisfactory. Sir, the only thing unsatisfactory was that my stomach has limited storage capacity. Thank you, Team San Gimignano, for reminding me that great restaurants don't just serve food—they create memories, food comas, and lifelong cravings.

Everything was good. I was upgraded and given access to the imperial lounge and the staff was very helpful. But the only drawback was the breakfast it was too basic not upto imperial Hotel.
