Constructed in 1931 by one of Lutyen’s associates, the Imperial New Delhi is a hotel that passionately celebrates its heritage from the days of the Raj. Invitations to connect with colonial-era Delhi can be found at every turn, from the three-tiered afternoon tea served in the atrium to the marble lined hallways and the 1911 Brasserie, decorated with faded photographs of maharajahs and Hollywood stars, and a grand piano in the corner.
