We recently enjoyed a long weekend staycation at The Imperial to celebrate a special occasion, and it was exactly what we were looking for. The hotel has a unique charm, rich history and an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity that is difficult to find elsewhere. It truly is one of Delhi’s iconic hotels. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay—courteous, attentive and genuinely warm. The cafés and restaurants are wonderful, making it easy to spend an entire weekend without wanting to leave the property. A couple of small suggestions. While the heritage character is part of The Imperial’s appeal, some of the corridors, guest rooms, carpets and waterworks are beginning to feel a little dated and could benefit from a sensitive refresh that preserves the hotel’s historic elegance. The breakfast restaurant caters very well to international guests, but I felt the Indian breakfast selection could be more flavourful and authentic. It lacks the warm/ attentive service maybe because they think it is self-service outfit. I would also suggest reviewing the cakes and pastries, as they didn’t quite match the flavours and quality like it should. Overall, The Imperial remains one of a kind. If you’re looking for elegance, history, impeccable service which comes with a premium and a peaceful escape in the heart of Delhi, it’s a wonderful choice, and we look forward to returning.

My stay at The Imperial was one of the best decisions I made during my visit to Delhi. The hospitality at this hotel is truly exceptional. I was genuinely impressed by how calm, courteous, and welcoming every staff member was. The moment you step inside, it feels as though you have entered a different world—one of royal elegance, hygiene, comfort, and warmth. Unfortunately, I did not have time for lunch before checking in. When I asked if any in-house restaurant was open around 5:00 PM, instead of simply saying no, the staff thoughtfully offered me complimentary high tea along with some delicious confectionery items. This small gesture reflected their commitment to guest satisfaction and left a lasting impression on me. Whether you stay in a room or a suite, every guest receives the same level of care and attention. The warm welcome, the way they look after both you and your belongings, and their constant effort to make you feel valued and special are what truly set this hotel apart. Also the spice route hotel has very nice Asian cuisine, a must try. Sadly, my stay lasted only one day. However, whenever I visit Delhi again, The Imperial will undoubtedly be my first choice of stay.

First of all, the Imperial iis an oasis in Delhi it is like no other 5 star in the Cslital taking you back to back to anothe era. It ks a family owned world clas. Boutique hotel—rich in history and charm. The service and care are off the charts Even little details are anticipated and taken care of with joy. The staff are genuinely caring and alert. The food is excellent and amenities like the gym Pool, and spa top notch. But what amazes me is no matter how many times I stay, they always pull of sownthogn wonderful even bordering on miraculous. Once due to emergency I had to take a sudden inter soon al flight that was sue to take off in a little over an hour somehow they whisked me to the airport through all security, and customs and got me on the plane which considering it took 30 min to get to the airport was a miracle. Another tine my colleague left his wallet the safe and was already at his gate at the airport Pavneet head of guest relations called him to tell him that his wallet was on the way.m—they already had someone on the direct metro to the airport to avid trafffic. Musaleen at concierge mobilised the whole airport team they called the airlines and sent their airport staff to the gate to talk to the airline and managed to hand him his wallet before the plane doors closed. But really it’s the little things they do not those big ones that makes the stay. So incredible. I habe stayed dozen of times at this hotel in all seasons and am Ameya’s happy that I did.

I visited The Imperial for a business meeting, and honestly, it was a great experience. The location is super convenient—right in Connaught Place on Janpath, so getting there was really easy. The place has a very classy and elegant vibe, but still feels comfortable and welcoming. You can really feel the luxury, but it’s not over the top. The staff was polite, attentive, and made sure everything went smoothly, which made a big difference. Also ended up catching up with an old friend there, and we had a long, relaxed chat about business—perfect setting for it. Overall, a great spot if you’re looking for a mix of good location, nice ambience, and solid service. Definitely worth visiting 👍
