The Imperial is one of the oldest hotels in Delhi from the Raj era and it is still one of our favourites. Its style is a quirky mélange of Victorian, colonial and Art Deco, and it has a fantastic collection of artwork of the Maharajas and black and white photos of local historical events. The location of the Imperial is excellent, in the Lutyens Garden very close to Connaught Square and only a short transfer to the airport, making it a great option for a Delhi stay whether at the beginning or end of your itinerary.
