You arrive up a palm‑lined drive; the city noise drops away as the Imperial’s portico receives you, its columns and lacquered wood asking you to slow down. In the Atrium restaurant, afternoon light pools across colonial-era portraits and polished brass. Teapots steam, and conversations ease into the measured rhythm of high tea.

Opened in 1936 during the British Raj, the Imperial is one of Delhi’s oldest grand hotels and houses an extensive collection of colonial art and photographs. The building itself reflects Lutyens-era planning and the layered history of New Delhi — a place where Raj-era decor meets modern hospitality. The hotel’s architecture and interiors are as much a part of the experience as the tea: carved moldings, chandeliers, and framed press photos that trace decades of guests and events.
Expect a curated selection of Indian and international teas paired with finger sandwiches, pastries, and regional sweets; options vary by season and chef. The service is formal but unhurried, and the setting is ideal for both intimate conversations and quiet people‑watching. Most high tea packages include hotel pickup and drop-off by private AC vehicle; timings are typically 3:00–6:00 p.m.
Practical notes: dress smart casual, allow about three hours for pickup, tea service, and return, and mention dietary needs when booking. The Atrium can be crowded on weekends — book in advance. For a richer visit, combine your tea with a short walk to nearby museums or a browse through Janpath market, where the modern city rubs shoulders with colonial memory.
Children are allowed but adults pay adult pricing; the menu can include child-friendly items—confirm when booking.
Yes—vegetarian options are common and allergies can usually be handled if communicated at booking.
Pickup is typically offered from central hotels; you’ll select or confirm your pickup point during booking.
Full refund is available if cancelled at least 24 hours before the scheduled time; check your booking confirmation for specifics.
