""An oasis of calm and comfort" sums up this colonial low-rise near Connaught Place shops." Full review
Star Service "With a driveway lined by 24 towering signature palms and turbaned sentries at the door, The Imperial will instantly transport guests back to the glamour of India's Raj." Full review

Rooms that overlook the atrium can be noisy and a bit grim during the day; it is best to request rooms with a view of the Imperial lawns.
Travel + Leisure "This Art Deco icon... is soaked with the ambiance of what writer Ranjana Sengupta calls “the whole tea-on-the-club-lawns and bugles-at-sunset world of Delhi in the 1930s.”" Full review

Most guest rooms enjoy great views of the city; the higher up you go, the more intriguing the city scene -- ask for a "Parliament View" if you'd like to see a greener Delhi.
Lonely Planet "This skyscraping Shangri-La is a place of sumptuous comfort and restrained design." Full review
Star Service "Formerly the Kanishka Hotel, this property was purchased by Shangri-La, which spent tens of millions of dollars doing a complete renovation of the high-rise building." Full review

Ask for a higher floor facing India Gate, which is especially charming at night when illuminated.
