Beautiful property, an oasis of calm in a hectic city. Excellent spa - I had a wonderful massage with Sree - and the breakfast was wonderful.
Nice buffet breakfast spread. It was really great to be addressed by my name. The staff were mostly attentive. Beautiful rooms and grounds. The restaurants were delicious!
The room was spacious & nicely decorated. The breakfast and dinning was amazing. The high tea was delightful. The staff were courteous and welcoming. Highly recommend the Imperial for a taste of the old world charm.
Old fashioned glamour. A magnificent hotel to stay at if you are in Delhi. Worth every cent. Spotless, beautiful and well maintained. All staff superb.
Above and beyond. The staff are exceptional in terms of the level of support, service and genuine care.

An oasis in the heart of Delhi. Exceptionally clean and beautiful it’s a Step back in time to the colonial era.
We had wonderful dinners in both the 1911 and Spice Route restaurants- top shelf.
Expedia VIP got us an upgrade to a suite and 25% off our messages!
Service . Spa . Clean are excellent as well as the hotel and room condition. The staff is very helpful, and the restaurants are good. Traffic is available outside the hotel. We mostly enjoyed the massage and the Spa which are extra ordinary.
One of the most luxurious stays I have ever experienced. Staff treated us like royalty. Restaurants were fantastic. Hotel conceirge facilitated fantastic tours.
A lovely character building with many dining options within the facility. Lovely pool and gardens. All the team were willing to help to make the start memorable.
Classic hotel with outstanding service and multiple dining options

Booked 2 rooms on the day our flight arrived, so checked in around 3 am. Found out both rooms were separated and on different floors. Could not change this. Toilet did not fully flush and tub did not drain in one room, did not notice this until morning when it was already time to check out. Second time we checked in the hotel room was quite spacious and nice. Weird smell was in the room, but improved with an air filter. The restaurants are great, the staff is eager to help, decor and location is amazing. Our stay was short and minor problems I am confident would have been addressed had we stayed longer. Breakfast buffet is fantastic.
This is my favorite hotel of all times. Not only do the staff make me feel like I have come home each time I stay it is one of the best located city hotels with the most beautiful swimming pool and wonderful out door space.
