Delhi NCR · Connaught Place
New Delhi's grand dame, on Janpath since 1936, with more than 5,000 works of art through its corridors.
The Imperial sits on an 8-acre estate on Janpath, once Queensway, in the middle of Connaught Place. The porch is reached along a line of 24 royal palms, planted the year the hotel opened its doors in 1936. Blomfield conceived the building in 1934, and Lord Willingdon inaugurated it 2 years later, blending 3 styles at once — Victorian, Art Deco and Lutyens' own Delhi. Every corridor, floor and room carries some part of a collection of more than 5,000 works, aquatints and lithographs from the late 17th century to the early 19th, inherited across generations of the family that has run the hotel since it opened. The international airport is a 30-minute drive away.
10 grades run from 25 to 229 square metres. Deco Room, at 25, looks onto The Atrium; The Imperial Room, at 30, and Heritage Room, at 34, are each sold with a king bed or twins inside the one name. Grand Heritage Room, at 45, is the house's own junior suite, with a Hollywood-style bed and vanity. The suites begin at Heritage Suite, 51 square metres, and climb through Deco Suite at 59, Viceroy Suite at 70 and Luxury Suite at 74 to 79, each on a four-poster bed. At the top, The Imperial Suite is 229 square metres with its own 63 square metre veranda lounge, a marble fireplace, a 100-year-old clock case, and antiques and lithographs collected across the building's whole life. Heritage Suite, Deco Suite, Luxury Suite and The Imperial Suite each come with access to the hotel's Executive Lounge.
The Imperial Spa runs across 44,000 square feet, with sauna, steam and jacuzzi alongside its treatment rooms, open 8 in the morning until 10 at night; its Ayurvedic programme is built around a resident doctor's consultation and applied by therapists trained in Kerala. Yoga Sanctum is a 900 square foot studio with a 400 square foot living green wall, running sessions early on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and in the evening on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The fitness centre runs 6 in the morning until 9 at night, with 24-hour access on request, and The Imperial Salon, 8 in the morning until 8 at night, keeps a ladies' side and a separate London-style men's room for a cut or a shave. Guests with Executive Lounge access also reach The Imperial Lounge, a private space for meetings, small bites and cocktail hours through the day.
