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
The Telegraph8.0

Because of the curved shape of the hotel, guest rooms vary in size somewhat: The largest are at the corners of each floor -- it's worth requesting these.
Insight Guides "The Park pioneered the design hotel concept in India and it remains among the best."
Lonely Planet "Conran-designed, with lots of modern flair, the Park boasts stylish, business-like rooms, a spa, smart eateries and a great poolside bar." Full review
Rough Guide Star
"They don’t come much snazzier than this place, with its super-cool lobby, ultra-modern rooms, and en-suite bathrooms screened off by frosted glass walls."
Concierge "The design whimsy, liveliness, and (not least) the 35-foot bar that ends with a dance floor make this a fun place to stay."
Travel + Leisure "If the Imperial encapsulates Delhi’s past, the Park offers a vivid glance into Delhi’s future—and the future looks uncannily like Miami Beach crossed with Islington." Full review
Afar Magazine "India’s Park hotel chain specializes in economical, stylish hotels for business travelers." Full review
