This place doesnt need another review from me but I will do it anyway. Been visiting 20+ years. Ok so its expensive, obviously but its serious value. 5 star facilities and the staff are of the quality that some HR managers would kill for. The walls, both in the rooms and the public areas are hung with prints from the Raj era which are worth a trip alone; just go and have a drink or afternoon tea and explore. Its is the best exposition of Raj life I have seen - warts and all. Close examination of those pictures reveals that the British era of rule was just as unpleasant as Post Colonial Indian historians have described and its demonstrated paradoxically by mostly amateur artists who thought they were celebrating it.

We had an unforgettable experience at The Imperial hotel in New Delhi!! Every point of contact with the hotel staff was filled with incredible kindness, professionalism, warmth and helpfulness on the part of the hotel staff (especially to be mentioned: Ritika (Ms.), Rameshwar (Mr.)., Rentta (Ms.)). Thank you also for the excellent diners we had in the Spice Route (three times!) and the excellent service provided in the Imperial Lounge. Our stay was truly perfect and we will definitely recommend this fabulous hotel with its outstanding service!!!

We experienced a wonderful and heart touching service at The Imperial during our several nights stay. Especially the restaurant The Spice Route, the Bars and lovely always smiling Ritika at the Imperial Lounge under management of Rentta as well as Rameshwar from the house keeping made our stay unforgettable. A little paradise full of history, love and hospitality in the middle of a crowded, moving and noisy city. Thank you so much to make our last days in India very special whole The Imperial team!
