We stayed here partly on business, partly vacation. The two rooms that we had were excellent and the service was perfect. It is a great haven in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Delhi. The hotel has more character than the Oberoi. My only gripe was that the pool area was very crowded on a Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, there is not too much to criticise.

The Imperial is one of the most impressive hotels we ever stayed in, well worth its price. We stayed at the beginning and at the end of our journey and it was a real treat every time.
The Heritage rooms we stayed in were very big, with look over the gardens or the front and quiet, comfortable, very clean and airy. The Hotel's interior is clean, modern and yet classic to preserve the charm of its history.
Despite the size of the Imerial we found that the staff is exceptionally helpful at all times, a well organised management keeps everything running without the guests noticing.
We had dinner at the Spice Route and Daniells and both are very good restaurants. The Spice Route is well known beyond Delhi and often busy, reservations are recommended- if you have the choice, the area outside is wonderful, underneath the sky.
Back in Delhi we will make sure to return!

Everything is top of the line by all western standards exept the restaurant 1911 where food is average at most and service laycy. The Italian restaurant is one of the best in the whole world.

Arriving in Delhi and after a whole day excursion, it is a real pleasure to step into the Imperial. Excellent in every respect, from service to quality of the furnishings and decor. We stayed in a Heritage room for two nights. The rooms are very luxury with atmosphere and style, although the bathroom has nothing extraordinary. Some good restaurants (Spice Route is really charming and good, but a little expensive). A real luxury and a real “garden” Hotel in the heart of this fast moving city. We would definitely recommend the Imperial.
