Advantages: Calm professional staff, quiet setting Disadvantages: If you can't get it at a bargain rate, it's not worth the price.
Ciao must despair of some of us members and the near-geological timescale we seem to work on. I requested this hotel over three years ago and have finally got around to writing about it. Proof at last that if I'm given long enough I'll eventually get round to almost anything.
When and Why?
We visited Delhi at the beginning and end of a tour to Ladakh, high up in the Himalaya range. Ladakh is at such high altitude that you really can only sensibly go in the summer months and since there's no option other than to go through Delhi to get there, that's an absolutely dreadful time to be in the city in terms of the heat, but a fantastic time to get a bargain on a hotel deal. The Metropolitan was one of our summer bargains.
My love for Delhi

Advantages: A landmark hotel Disadvantages: It's a long way from home
Lutyens - the architect between the creation of New Delhi. The architectural style is described as a blend of Victorian, Old Colonial and a dash of Art Deco. SBS Ranjit Singh's motor car is still parked outside the hotel and, if my photos upload properly, it should be included in the pictures at the end of the review.
What did it cost and how did we book?
********************************
We paid $220 (approx £120) for one night at The Imperial. This rate was for an 'Imperial Room' (the smallest and least expensive option) and included breakfast for two as well as airport transfers on arrival and departure. As we weren't going back to the airport, they gave us a car to take us to our next hotel instead without any quibbling. Bearing in mind that most hotels will charge a minimum of 1000-2000 Rupees (about £12-£25) for airport pick up, this ...
Advantages: Great attractions; fabulous culture; fascinating history Disadvantages: Very noisy and polluted in parts
out of some beautiful gardens, where you will find some other family tombs of historical interest. The grounds themselves are extremely attractive, and evocative of an English park, complete with resplendent peacocks; it's really rather a pleasant place to be.
The reason I recall this particulary landmark, quite apart from its undoubted splendour and the magnificent sunset we saw there (if you can bring a decent camera with the right filters, then definitely do so; you can get a fabulous view down the promenade), is for a rather extenuated reason. That lunchtime, we had just come from visiting the main mosque in Delhi (worth a trip, though be aware that the flagstones in the central courtyard will be baking hot in the sunshine - the Indians seem unpeturbed, but if your soles haven't been subjected to a lifetime of abuse, and are not ...
