Indigenous Art Appreciation at The Imperial New Delhi

The capital city of India presents a perfect blend of the country’s rich past and thriving present, making centuries-old monuments – from Qutub Minar, the Red Fort and Humayun’s Tomb, as well as a labyrinth of narrow lanes, old havelis (mansions), and colourful bazaars – a part of modern daily life. Located in the heart of New Delhi, The Imperial is an award-winning grand dame that seamlessly amalgamates the architecture of the Victorian, Colonial, and Art deco styles. The hotel has three main art galleries and a collection of life-size oil paintings of the Princely Rulers of India. Its impressive art collection also includes a priceless collection of the ‘British Art on India’ by prominent artists like Thomas and William Daniells, J.B. Fraser, Emily Eden and Charles D’Oyly, among others.
