"Everything was just perfect with our stay at the Imperial, Every member of staff made us feel so welcome and were always there to help, advice and give top notch service. The restaurants & bars are a really high standard, the Patiala Peg makes an amazing cocktail. The breakfast is an amazing experience with many wonderful options particularly the local specialties. Also the complimentary art tour is really interesting and knowing you are staying in such an historically significant place adds to the uniqueness of the fine hotel."

What is a historic hotel like in New Delhi?
A historic hotel gives guests a chance to stay in a building recognised with an official historic designation. Historic hotels throughout the world have had many former lives and uses, such as palaces, castles, stately homes or even lodges, pubs or skyscrapers — as long as it's of special interest. These types of hotels in New Delhi usually retain original elements like traditional architecture and period features within the guestrooms or public spaces.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the architecture and building. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it influenced the community.
Do historic hotels in New Delhi have modern facilities?
Yes, every effort is made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but hotel interiors are fitted with modern conveniences and safety features. Visitors can expect the amenities you'd get from a hotel such as private rooms with updated bathroom facilities, WiFi and more. When you book a historic hotel in New Delhi, it doesn't mean you're choosing a place that's uncomfortable for guests or rundown.
