New Delhi has a sense of order that Old Delhi lacks. It is the name given to the imperial capital created by the British and often referred to as Luyten`s Delhi, after the architect who – together with Herbert Baker – was responsible for the design of many of the imperial buildings in the city.

FIVE STARS

The Imperial Hotel, which dates back to 1931, is situated on one of New Delhi`s most famous boulevards, called Janpath, a stone`s throw from the main shopping district of Connaught Place. This five-star establishment, a unique blend of Victorian, old colonial and playful art deco, is well positioned in beautifully manicured gardens. Its Spice Route Restaurant takes you on a culinary armchair journey of spices from the Malabar Coast in Kerala through Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia to Thailand and Vietnam.
