==History==
The hotel was opened in 1936, designed in mix of Victorian and colonial architecture with a hint of Art Deco style by architect, D.J. 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.〔''Great, grand & famous hotels'', by Fritz Gubler, Raewyn Glynn.
