The Imperial New Delhi

My Dad and I were in Delhi for 9 nights and decided to split our time between Maidens (4 nights) and the Imperial (5 nights). It was the best decision to stay at the Imperial who knocked the ball out of the park and dwarf every other hotel you have or will ever stay in. It is possible to fall in love with a hotel. The hotel is a museum hotel so for art lovers it is really quite something (the Delhi Durbar behind the front desk, and the obedient elephant with its master sleeping on a mat, are some of the most moving masterpieces). I changed our art tour time as I wanted to have a more leisurely breakfast. Unbeknown to me at the time, Iris had come to work that day especially for our tour but on rescheduling they accommodated us seamlessly. Our room was beautiful - from the exquisite Clive Road tea and chocolate dipped madeleines, to the finest bed linen and toiletries that carries the Imperial scent. The pool is the best swimming pool I have ever seen let alone swam in - the robe, and picnic basket with the sweet lime simply gorgeous - thank you Surender and Pardeep. The spa is breathtaking - including the slippers...I spent a lot of time with Athini, Dr Sheema and Rakesh - thank you. The breakfast at 1911 was the best food and service we have had across India, not only the food but graciously accommodating us to sit in our favourite beloved table each day - thank you Laxman, Anoop, Arjun, Meenu, and Joseph. It was extraordinary on every level with Laxman making an Insta reel of us all. We delighted in the staff who surrounded us each day and touched our hearts. These are the real jewels in the crown with an uncontrived and flawless execution. There were countless people that marked our stay. T H A N K Y O U for spoiling us ... from the door people's greetings - Biju, Madan, Bijender, Zokim; housekeeping and evening turndowns; the cake desk Elizabeth's kind heart; chatting to the management Mandeep, Karanveer, and Louis' + everyone else I haven't mentioned. "While in India, one must visit the Taj Mahal and stay at the Imperial." I was teary to leave and dream to return.

We spent a week at the Imperial. From check in to check out all was exquisite and beautifully handled as was the beautifully dressed female door attendant who enthusiastically greeted us daily with a large smile. Room was ready as we arrived and check in was done in the room. Welcome blessing and bindi application was a lovely touch. The spa was a big treat as was the daily yoga offered in the hotel in a beautiful yoga sanctum with two excellent yoga teachers. Dr Sheema and her team were both professional and provided excellent treatments after a comprehensive consultation. Poolside service was excellent as was housekeeping and Mr Anup looked after us very well. Our room was grand and spacious and well equipped with a great bathroom. The hotel brought a cake and a bunch of flowers for a birthday which they figured out from passports on entry. The concierge went the extra mile and organized tours, a car and even sourced various items for us. Breakfast daily in the restaurant 1911 was excellent and the staff attentive. Breakfast was a grand affair with any choice one could imagine. Supper in 1911 was equally good with excellent food. Nothing short of a most superb stay in a beautiful hotel in a magnificent and vibrant city!

The Imperial exudes old-world charm in full measure. A classy property (built in British style), it lures you with excellent interiors, fantastic service, a cozy ambience and delicious food, An excellent option for a stay in the heart of the capital.

We successfully launched our new bike, and it was a huge hit! Everything went smoothly, thanks to the exceptional efforts of Team Imperial, particularly Nishant, Himanshu, Bhupesh, and Pawan. Their coordination and planning were outstanding – truly next-level. Thank you so much we'll surely visit again .
