The Imperial Janpath

Opened in 1931, the Imperial Hotel is not only one of Asia’s greatest hotels but also the witness to the birth of the capital city of New Delhi. Its marvelous mélange of victorian, colonial and art deco styles stands out even after more than 7 decades and offers each guests the magic experience of capturing a piece of history. India’s greatest personalities have walked the corridors of the hotel and shared most daring ideas over a cup of tea in its restaurant and lounges. The Imperial Hotel is a unique blend of old and new, it successfully preserved its past aura not forgetting the comfort of modern amenities to provide its guest with lifetime memories. The spacious, high ceiling guest rooms, massive crystal chandeliers, sparkling marble floors, huge glossy mahogany tables, hotel personnel dressed in regal Indian garb not to mention the vast original 18th and 19th century art collection that adorns the corridors of the hotel are all a constant reminder of the elegance of the coloum. Probably the only authentic ballroom remaining in India with a spring floor that reduces noise levels, the Royal Ballroom evokes the splendor of Lords and Ladies bowing and courtesying, before they swirled across the floor to the strains of waltz.
