“And now we’re back at the beginning,” He said.  Three weeks after landing in Delhi to begin our first trip to India, we were checking back into The Imperial preparing for our 3:30 am flight home.

LOBBY 1

We were welcomed back warmly as though frequent guests, whisked through check-in and taken to our room.  Just looking forward to the opportunity to freshen up and stretch out on an excellent bed, we found we had been upgraded to a ROOM CORRIDORsuite, making the next 7 hours before leaving for the airport so much more comfortable. We enjoyed the large art deco sitting room with it’s comfortable sofa, club chairs and ambient lighting.  It was a surprise and delight to order truly excellent pasta dishes from the room service menu from San Gimignano, the hotel’s Italian restaurant.

The Imperial’s General Manager has created a highly personal environment so gracious, efficient, satisfying and comfortable, we will no doubt look forward to any opportunity to return to The Imperial. An important building in Delhi’s history it continues to be part of India’s legendary reputation for hospitality, elegance and grace.  It was the perfect beginning and end to our remarkable trip to India.

MHT TIPS:

  • We were very happy with the Imperial Room we booked upon arrival which had an excellent bathroom and good closet space as well as a sofa and comfortable seating area. Excellent value.  Suites are, of course  significantly larger with a glamorous bathroom, separate living room and additional powder room.  Both are extremely comfortable and accommodating.
  • Don’t overlook the Spa. Beautiful facility and excellent services.

“It’s 3:00 AM.  Its pitch black.  But we’re in India!” Me said. “The adventure begins!” He replied. Living legend, living treasure, The Imperial hotel has an extraordinary history behind it’s architecture, glamour and well deserved reputation for service.

“The interiors and grounds of The Imperial have been relevantly modernized and reflect the best of old and new.  The impressive Royal Palms throughout the property line the paths through the gardens, pool and idyllic spa.

 

 

“We’ve only slept for five hours but I already wish we were staying longer,” Me said.  I wondered how many travelers like us were foolishly only using The Imperial as a crash pad after the long flight from the United States before setting out in all directions around India. “We couldn’t have picked a better hotel,” He said.  “We?” Me asked.

The lobbies, many restaurants, public spaces, and conveniences belie their elegance. The lovely breakfast room and terrace are also open for lunch and there is an unexpected and excellent French Patisserie. The pastry chef’s skill can also be sampled in each of the restaurants with more than a passing nod to Paris.  Truly excellent! In-house dining, along with other services are prompt, efficient and gracious.

SPA ENTRANCE

A spa afternoon was the perfect antidote to jet lag. The massages were incredible and the atmosphere was tranquil with soaring ceilings, steam, sauna, showers and dressing rooms that felt spacious and private.  The perfect place to let stress slip away and prepare for our first trip to India.

“We really couldn’t have picked a better place,” He said.  “I know,” Me replied.  “We amaze me.”
