The Imperial New Delhi

New Delhi, India

The Imperial New Delhi

Entering this residence feels like stepping into a museum; the understated Art Deco exterior contrasts sharply with the opulence inside. At The Imperial New Delhi, history is told through walls that showcase the property’s collection of 5,000 original artworks, such as Archibald Herman Müller’s oil painting Nautch Girl, and walls that once witnessed Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah, and Lord Mountbatten discussing Partition. Further inside, The Spice Route offers a dual journey; firstl, culinary, featuring Chef Mustian Gadang’s Indonesian-inspired prawn rendang. The second is visual; diners are surrounded by columns salvaged from a Kerala temple and nine-stage frescoes recounting the cycle of life. It is a beautiful setting for genuine contemplation.
