5 Star Luxury Plus History in New Delhi-Imperial Hotel: Why stay at the Imperial Hotel?

If you want to glimpse history, the Imperial Hotel is the place.  I made my way by cab for high tea and to see where Gandhi often met in 1947 to negotiate India’s future. It also is an elegant spot for a 5 star trip to start a tour of the fabled Golden Triangle.  Before you head out to Jaipur and the Taj Mahal, take a two day tour of Old and New Delhi.
