Steeped in history, The Imperial is a grand colonial property and ancient relic of the British Raj, offering a refuge at the heart of India’s bustling capital.
Step inside this opulent hotel and you will be greeted by elaborate furnishings, polished marble flooring and collections of artwork, incorporating thousands of original photographs. The Imperial’s pillared verandahs, entertaining areas and spacious gardens have seen many encounters between the British and Indian aristocracy and gentry over its fascinating history.
The restaurants here are as stunning in design as the cuisine that is offered – we recommend making time in your schedule to savour drinks and dinner, which is sure to be an experience itself. The Spice Route boasts a stunning setting of ancient temple pillars and mural art, whilst the 1911 Restaurant has a more relaxed ambience, set in art deco surroundings. Enjoy a morning coffee in the bright European inspired Atrium and relax with a classic cocktail in the evening at the Hardinge Bar – it’s certainly easy to pass the time here.
The Imperial Spa is a sanctuary to further unwind, with treatments tailored to suit, as the resident Ayurvedic practitioner has an immense knowledge of ancient Indian therapies. Or maybe you’d like to join a yoga session in the gardens or simply enjoy a dip in the pool.
As you would expect in a property of this fine reputation, the guest accommodation is classic and elegant. Marbled floors, dark wooden furnishings and rich tapestries, contrast against the pristine white linens.
