The Imperial

This elegant historic hotel offers an oasis of calm set in seven acres of manicured gardens in the otherwise chaotic heart of Delhi. The 235 rooms and suites are a blend of Art Deco, Raj-inspired and contemporary - be sure to request one with a garden view.
The large outdoor swimming pool and luxurious spa offer welcome respite after a day of sightseeing - as do the deep leather chairs for sinking into at the heritage bar.
