Staylist AI overview · based on 8 public guest reviews
“1931 Delhi landmark, devoted fans”
The Imperial, New Delhi, a 1931 landmark, draws unusually loyal praise — one frequent India traveler abandoned their usual luxury hotels after staying here, and another returned for a second visit to find staff remembering their name. Guests describe an elegant, warm atmosphere with authentic interiors, spacious rooms, efficient well-trained staff and food that impresses, from the breakfasts to the Indian restaurant and even a French onion soup one guest judged better than in France. The gym, pool and spa are rated highly, though one guest found the spa a little expensive.
