Insight Guides "Pretty much as good as it gets in Delhi, this place oozes class and Art Deco charm in equal measure."

""An oasis of calm and comfort" sums up this colonial low-rise near Connaught Place shops." 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.

The Telegraph8.0
"Offers a tangible connection to the city’s colonial-era history, and offers an understated elegance. It also enjoys a central location: easy striking distance to both Imperial and bustling Old Delhi." Full review
Michelin Guide "This place is generally regarded as New Delhi’s most elegant grand hotel, and it’s certainly got the pedigree...it’s almost an urban resort, complete with an outdoor swimming pool, a spa" Full review

Frommer's "This addition to the despairingly small number of nonhotel options has fast become very popular, so book early." Full review
Lonely Planet "Off the tourist radar in West Delhi, this delightful small hotel is close to the metro and offers beautifully decorated rooms, inspired by Indian cities, and an excellent rooftop restaurant." Full review
OysterMid-Range
"It has only 17 rooms, which allows for more personalized service, and each has a quintessentially Indian feel based on a region or theme. There are plenty of amenities for a hotel of this size." Full review
