...for it but if you aren't expecting it, the tax can be a shocker and turns a good bargain into a bit of a let-down and can spoil an otherwise great experience.
Why did I want to go to the Imperial?
********************************
The Imperial is one of the world's greatest hotels - it's the kind of place where you don't have to say 'The Imperial Hotel, Delhi' any more than you'd have to call Raffles 'The Raffles Hotel, Singapore'. The hotel's website is www.theimperialindia.com - what a great name! Even they don't have to explain themselves. The Imperial was the first of the almost legendary 'Four Maidens of the East' - the Strand Hotel in Rangoon, Raffles in Singpore and the Great Eastern and Oriental in Calcutta are the other three. So reason number one for staying at The Imperial - sheer unadulterated SNOB VALUE.

Children under 10 stay free here but we were lucky enough to be able to leave our son with the in laws for the few days we were there, so it was just hubby and me. We paid roughly £60 each per night if memory serves me correctly, which we thought was quite reasonable at the time.
You will be required to provide a photo ID when you check in so make sure you have your passport handy. The reception/lobby is beautiful. There are large relaxing chairs you can use while waiting to check in and the whole décor is quite regal. Very inviting. The staff where friendly, as all New Yorkers seemed...

...the one and a half hours crossing time to Calais in any sea state. However on this short break the sea was reasonably choppy both ways, but I never felt the boat move - not ONCE - I didn't even think about it - well that's a lie! on my way to the boutique/shop, where I bought two litres of Chival Regal for £30 duty paid, I did roll to one side of the corridor and had to correct myself!!
The Hotel Meurice is rated three-star. As such, as a three star hotel, I will give it five stars. It isn't much to look at from the outside. It was rebuilt in the 1950's, having been destroyed in WW2, very much in the style of a grand hotel. With the current strength of the euro, it isn't cheap. On the other hand, by today's standards and what I paid for a 3-star hotel on the sea front in Worthing the day before we left, it was good value.

My boyfriend booked us 3 nights in this hotel for a relaxing / sightseeing weekend. He gave me the address and told me to meet him there (we live in separate towns). I spent a good 45 mins driving in circles around harrogates' one way system, but... more
