The Claridges

For those that love the splendour of colonial hotels the Imperial will delight. Renowned as one of Delhi’s best and most popular hotels booking early is recommended to avoid disappointment especially in high season (Nov- Mar). The best of the best in the city!

The new (2022) refurbishment has added to the hotel’s already luxurious feel (but not at all displayed in the rather drab 1960s style concrete exterior). The new look is said to be influenced by Sir Edwin Lutyens’ designs for New Delhi – which might have raised a quizzical Lutyens eyebrow. Silky glitz and glamour is the key focus, with a huge marble lobby softened by Indian antiques and modern artwork.

In our opinion Maidens Hotel is an affordable heritage property that offers an oasis in the city but close enough to the city centre to cater to all your sightseeing and shopping needs!
