Stayed at Imperial for one week on a business trip. Stayed in 2 separate rooms due to taking a side trip to Agra. First room was lovely, bright & airy, situated close to front of hotel. Second room was very small, very noisy and had no natural light. Service in the hotel restaurant was good. Service in the bar was... more

We had a very mediocre stay at the Imperial. The building is undoubtedly gorgeous, and is definitely worth a thorough walk-through. However, I would not recommend staying here. As mentioned in previous reviews, the service was lackluster - polite, but very stiff. Our room was also very claustrophobic - only small windows that look out onto an interior courtyard (with... more

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 nights at the beginning and end of our Golden Triangle trip. When we arrived we were greatly impressed at how beautiful the hotel was. It was an oasis of calm in a very hectic and hot city. It is a fine Art Deco building and has a lovely colonial feel inside with magnificient... more

I had always wanted to stay here. The Imperial is a beautiful hotel but seems to have some serious problems. Most serious is noise. The rooms are not particularly quiet, especially in the older section of the hotel. During my stay, I had to change rooms 3 times. Desk clerks seemed pleasant but clueless about construction going on below my... more

This hotel is well worth a visit for its architectural beauty and for the hundreds of paintings it houses. Its large swimming pool is just as impressive and the pool-side service is top quality. Overall, the staff are friendly and helpful in this hotel and they work hard to keep it immaculate and clean. The rooms and public areas have... more

This is my third visit to this hotel and this place never ceases to amaze me... The facilities and services are of very high class (well! pure luxury if you ask me...) The whole place has a colonial feel and will definitely take you back in time... The rooms and beds are spacious and have all the modern amenities you... more

After two... less successful... Delhi stays, I decided not to fool around and just book the nicest hotel in Delhi for my third stay, which numerous sources claimed was The Imperial. It was cheaper than I thought it would be, perhaps 3-4 times what a typical budget room in Delhi would cost, and while this is still fairly expensive, you... more

The location of the Imperial is excellent if your interest lies in exploring Delhi which was one of my main reasons for staying here. As I like hotels that stand out from the norm, the Imperial did not disappoint as it is like walking inside a museum. Everything is spotless and the staff does their utmost to keep the place... more

The hotel was lovely. What I was so impressed with was the service. My plane arrived late (2 am) and my prearranged airport transfer (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR WOMEN) was there and waiting. My luggage was lost. My plans ,unfortunately, were to leave on the 6am train to Agra and spend one night there and return back to the Imperial for... more
