Hotel
The Imperial New Delhi
A heritage luxury hotel on Janpath, welcoming guests since 1936, mixing Victorian, Art Deco and Lutyens styles with several restaurants, the 1911 Bar and a spa.
A five-star design hotel by Connaught Place, conceived by Terence Conran and Priya Paul, overlooking the 18th-century Jantar Mantar observatory.
Good to know
The Park New Delhi is a stylish, design-focused five-star hotel on Parliament Street, on the edge of Connaught Place. It was conceived by the British designer Terence Conran together with Priya Paul and its interiors are the work of Conran and Partners, which gives it a contemporary character quite different from the city's palace-style hotels.
One of its unusual assets is the setting. The hotel overlooks Jantar Mantar, the 18th-century astronomical observatory, and the hotel even has a Jantar Mantar Suite. Room categories run from Luxury and Luxury Premium rooms through Club rooms and Residence rooms to Deluxe Suites and a Presidential Suite, so there is a wide spread of options and prices.
For food and drink, the hotel's restaurant tyde serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and has a cocktail list. Aura Spa offers day spa treatments alongside the gym. The outdoor swimming pool is closed for renovation from 15 June to 15 December 2026, so check its status if a pool matters for your stay. The gym and spa are useful for a workout or a massage after a long day of sightseeing in the heat.
The location is one of the most practical in the city. Connaught Place's shops, restaurants and bars are on the doorstep, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and Janpath are close, and Pragati Maidan, India Gate and the museums of central New Delhi are easy to reach by taxi or metro. That makes it a good base for a short first visit, and for business travellers with meetings in the centre.
The Park suits design lovers, couples and business travellers who want five-star comfort in a contemporary setting rather than the formality of the grand heritage hotels. It is also a practical choice for travellers who want to be within walking distance of Connaught Place's restaurants and bars in the evening, without needing a taxi back to the hotel.
Bookings can be made through the website, by phone or via the toll-free number 1800 102 7275 within India. Ask for a room with a view of Jantar Mantar when you book, and check whether the pool has reopened if you are travelling around the end of the renovation period.
