The Imperial New Delhi

Reckoned amongst Asia’s finest hotels, The Imperial is a legend that offers a unique experience embracing facets of India’s history. The 24 king palms, that lead up to the porch, stand a witness to the creation of New Delhi. Built in 1931 by Bromfield, a Lutyens’ associate, the Hotel is known for its contemporary colonial style.

Where else do you find a pristine white 1931 Lutyens' style building, surrounded by acres of immaculate king palm-studded lawns, an oasis in the center of a busy capital city? This is warm marble and roses, temporary home for global CEOs and discerning leisure travelers before, and after, serious India journeys. A 650 staff - for 232 rooms - cannily are there only exactly when needed, and everyone knows your name.

Enjoy the pool and gardens, the breathtaking art collection - Art Deco suite, also has three 1903 photos, including Lord Curzon riding on an elephant. Art Deco suites have Bang & Olufsen, Bose and Porthault (but some prefer traditional Heritage rooms).

The indelible Imperial Experience is geared towards making your visit simply perfect in every possible way. The Imperial is, in itself, a destination!
