It was New Delhi's first luxurious grand hotel.[1][2] Today it has the largest collection of colonial and post-colonial art and artifacts anywhere in Delhi, and has a museum and an art gallery.[3] HistoryThe hotel was opened in 1936, designed in mix of Victorian and colonial architecture with a hint of Art Deco style by architect, F.B. Blomfield, an associate of Edwin Lutyens, who in turn designed the new capital of British Raj, New Delhi, also inaugurated in the same year, and contained in Lutyens' Delhi. The Imperial was built by S.B.S. Ranjit Singh, son of R.B.S. Narain Singh, honoured by the British Raj, at the Coronation Durbar of 1911, wherein New Delhi was declared the new Capital of India from Calcutta.[4][5] The hotel was restored by its General Manager and Vice President, Mr Harvinder Sekhon, between 1996 and 2001. During his tenure, the Imperial hosted the Queen of the Netherlands, Hollywood actors and actresses, adventurers, and tycoons. He also opened the six restaurants and bars which are called "Spice Route", "Patiala Peg Bar", "1911 Restaurant and Bar", "Daniells Tavern" and "San Gimignano".
