The Imperial New Delhi
NEW DELHI, DELHI, INDIA
Our take
1936 vintage, over 5,000 original artworks lining the corridors, and an address on Janpath that puts you at the center of Delhi's political gravity — The Imperial earns its reputation without trying. Victorian bones, Art Deco detailing, and a hush inside that the city outside cannot touch. Come here if the architecture and the history *are* the amenity. Skip it if you need glass-and-steel modernity or anything resembling a resort escape — this is colonial grandeur, full stop, and it doesn't apologize for it.
Notable Features
- Over 5000 original artworks
- Victorian and Art Deco architecture
