“elegant hotel”

The Imperial

Nov 10, 2007

After driving through the chaotic streets of Delhi, the Imperial is a welcome and calm oasis. This 5 elegant hotel has everything you expect from a 5 star hotel. The rooms are spacious and beautiful and the service is top notch. The spice route restaurant has a great interior with great food. The terrace is a beautiful place to have breakfast. The only thing we would do different is bring some nicer clothes to wear in the hotel, all of the guests were a bit older and all were quite elegant. We felt a bit underdressed at times.

We had an amazing stay whilst on our honeymoon. The staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. The interior is delightful. Grand in every sense and better than most museums. The food and service was excellent and we would not hesitate in recommending or staying there again.

This is a grand hotel and has a feel of travelling back in time to the days of the Raj. The best description of the hotel interior in one word is elegant. The rooms are spacious and well presented. The staff superbly helpful and friendly.

The restraints are all very nice and the food tasty and well presented. Down side in the restaurants was that people did smoke in them and I thought they were smoke free dinning rooms. A word of warning if eating on the terrace restaurant do keep an eye open above
you as we saw a large hawk take a meal from a woman’s plate. Not a complaint it was amusing but could be a bit alarming if you are the one it happens to. We used a tour company organised for us by American Express by the name of Abercrombie and Kent. I can recommend
them to all who are looking for a professional guide that makes you feel safe, important and caters to your needs. They organise a vehicle and guide speaking your language for you alone. It is not a shared service and they take you to the places you are interested in and do so with

The best hotel we stayed in India. Very nice restaurants, good breakfast, nice room. Pool rather small could be nicer.
