Booked 2 rooms on the day our flight arrived, so checked in around 3 am. Found out both rooms were separated and on different floors. Could not change this. Toilet did not fully flush and tub did not drain in one room, did not notice this until morning when it was already time to check out. Second time we checked in the hotel room was quite spacious and nice. Weird smell was in the room, but improved with an air filter. The restaurants are great, the staff is eager to help, decor and location is amazing. Our stay was short and minor problems I am confident would have been addressed had we stayed longer. Breakfast buffet is fantastic.

The Imperial is a beautiful hotel, stunning architecture, lovely gardens & a remarkable greeting on arrival. Our room was lovely too. The hotel is very reminiscent of Raffles in Singapore. An oasis in the heart of the city. Breakfast is the only area of criticism. This is a 5* hotel, with a 3* breakfast offering. Set up as a buffet, the process for hot drinks & eggs/ cooked dishes is unclear & not explained. No staff are by the entrance on arrival. You have to try to ‘catch’ a member of staff for service, very frustrating when one day we asked 4 times for butter for our now cold toast & omlette. Breakfast is under staffed & staff are untrained, surely a reflection of management & not the staff. There’s an amazing welcome on arrival by multiple staff members, if cost is an issue, please please redeploy some to serving breakfast. Really lets down an otherwise wonderful hotel.

Exquisite Luxury and Grandeur

The exterior of the hotel and the public portions of the hotel are nothing short of amazing. It is like a marble palace filled with beautfully framed colonial-era prints and other paintings as well as beautiful sculptures and other exquisite objects. The furniture in the public portions of the hotel are equally sumptous. The swimming pool gets an 11 out of 10! The service is over the top although I did feel on a few occasions that a tip was being sought when there may not have been merit for it. That said, people bend over backwards to serve and you definitely know you are in a 5-star hotel! The food was amazingly good and the buffet breakfast is fantastic. The other restaurants at the hotel are top-rated. The cost of food a la carte outside of the buffet was a little on the pricey side but nothing out of the ordinary for such a magnificent hotel. The only 4 stars given was that the mattress was a little dated and could probably use an upgrade and strangely enough the shower area was well below average. I never managed to get the temperature to be correct and they have cheap acrylilc tubs with roughly caulked edges. The photos look amazing but once you see it in person you will not be impressed. That said, I would say the shower or bathtub area was like a well-maintained 3-star hotel. Another guest confirmed that their bathtub / shower was the same. Otherwise, be prepared to be treated like Lord and Lady Grantham with all the antiques, art and general luxury!

Best place to stay and experience Delhi

Loved the ambience, location, room comfort and decor and the food at Imperial. This place is simply like staying in a historic museum surrounded by incredible curation of artifacts. The staff is friendly right from greeting you at the airport and throughout your stay. It is now my top recommendation for anyone who is visiting Delhi and wants to explore various important spots, everything is within 20 to 30 minutes by auto/car. Great walkability to nearby cottage emporium and janpath market and for the walkers, India Gate is walkable too (about 40 minutes). I hope to be back someday.

The Imperial is a unique institution, almost a destination rather than a hotel. It is beautiful and its superb art and artifact collection sets it apart from any other hotel we have ever experienced. The staff and concierge are extremely attentive and all our requests were met promptly and with great care. If I have one minor complaint, it is about service in the dining room (1911), which tends to be a little unsystematic though very attentive when someone is actually looking.

I was given a room on the ground floor right next to a wedding which was not ideal. I was not told about the amenities and had to ask for more information, it just did not feel very welcoming.

I had an issue with the bathtub where the water did not drain at all. I informed them after day 1 but the issue was not rectified. I informed them on day 2 and the compensation they offered for the inconvenience of showering in my own filth was to take 1500 rupees off the final bill for a room service charge. I expect better from a hotel charging 400 USD a night.

The best hotel in New Delhi, by miles!

The Imperial might just be the best hotel I've ever stayed at! We finished our trip in India here, in pure luxury, where all the amenities were top quality, and the staff were so friendly and welcoming, it truly felt like our home away from home. The staff were so lovely, we were spotted by a member of staff who had finished his shift, when we were walking about a kilometer away from the hotel, and he took the time to offer us directions to where we were trying to go! Can't recommend the Imperial enough. We loved it and if we find ourselves in Delhi again I'd stay again in a heartbeat.

Hmm?! Nice hotel but a few niggling issues

Check in was good. Except the hotel added additional credit card charges to the stay and that was then left pending on my account
So when I came to pay the final bill which was issued separately, it looked like I’d spent nearly £3000 !!! For a 3 night stay. Consequently my CC refused payment .. it took forever to get it sorted and we then had little time free at the airport
Also our room 265 had no natural window
Instead it had an internal opening that looked down into the hotel lobby area. The Roman blind needed to stay down the whole time .. very disappointing considering the pretty grounds.
Also, when next door used their bathroom there was a continual clanking of pipe works, not good at 5/6am
I have evidence of this if the hotel is interested
