The Imperial’s Grand Christmas Brunch and New Year’s Eve Gala

New Delhi, December 2025 — The Imperial New Delhi unveils a season where warmth, tradition, and theatre collide in joyous celebration. Sunlit afternoons bloom with laughter; evenings glow with quiet wonder. The hotel becomes a living tableau of holiday magic, inviting guests to pause, savour, and gather memories that endure long after the lights dim and the year turns.

The Grand Christmas Brunch: A Day of Radiant Delights at the heart of our festive calendar, The Imperial’s Grand Christmas Brunch stands as the season’s most treasured gathering—an invitation for families and friends to share joy, laughter, and timeless memories. On a bright winter morning, The Imperial’s eight-acre oasis unfurls like an open postcard, inviting guests to linger and bask in the magic of the season.

Inside the grand hall of 1911 Restaurant, culinary artistry unfolds in a symphony of flavours, shaped by masters who have spent months refining this ritual of nostalgia and indulgence. Each course tells a story: heirloom recipes renewed with elegant twists, familiar comfort, and a sense of wonder that invites conversation, connection, and a collective sigh of contentment.

On the Terrace, live vintage entertainment drifts through the air, while playful games of bocce and croquet stitch light-hearted competition into the afternoon. Little ones will be delighted as Santa greets them in a corner of games and activities. The Imperial—for one day—opens its gates wide to become a haven where moments become memories, and the spirit of the season finds its truest expression.

The Prelude to Christmas: The Grand Dame’s Holiday Soiree Weeks before Christmas, The Grand Dame opens her doors to a prelude of festive conversation. For twenty wondrous days, the hotel’s corridors hum with anticipation. Gugelhupfs and pastries perfume The Atrium, signalling the days to come. Light glints on gleaming trays as confections and tea classics—echoes of Europe’s imperial courts—await sharing with guests and visitors alike. A fountain display dances with miniature nutcrackers, adding a touch of whimsy to the season.

Beyond the glass, illuminated reindeers thread the driveway with a gentle glow. Gardens bathe in festive hues, and ten-foot Imperial Nutcrackers stand guard beside hand-crafted gift boxes that whisper stories of tradition. Every corner of the hotel radiates warmth, inviting guests to slow down, breathe in the season, and surrender to the elegance of it all. And as this enchanting atmosphere draws you in, the journey continues with the Festive Lunch Buffet at 1911 Restaurant — where every bite tells the story of the season’s joy. Embodying its spirit, the buffet brings together dishes that warm the heart and excite the palate, extending the celebration in the most delicious way.

The Imperial as Protagonist: A Living Holiday Tale The hotel’s storied grandeur is more than backdrop; it is a living character in this year’s celebrations. Its walls offer a familiar embrace, its décor invites imagination, and its careful curation mirrors a family’s tradition—welcoming both longtime friends and new faces into a shared, luminous celebration.

New Year’s Eve Gala: The City’s Night to Remember As the sun sinks and the year tilts toward revelry, The Imperial radiates a different magic—a New Year’s Eve Gala that Delhi will remember for months to come. The evening pulses with energy, guiding guests through moments of exquisite anticipation.

The dining rooms will beckon with a constellation of flavors: at 1911 Restaurant, a grand banquet of refined tasting experiences; at San Gimignano, a Gourmet Italian feast brimming with brass, herb, and joie de vivre; and at The Spice Route, an Ethnic Asian voyage that enchants the palate. Each table becomes a narrative—shared confidences, whispered memories, promises for the future.

As midnight approaches, guests converge in The Atrium beneath a celestial skylight. Delhi’s first 15,000-balloon descent will cascade in a spectrum of colour, transforming the moment into an iconic memory. Live entertainment builds a heartbeat beneath the lights, and a marquee DJ sweeps feet onto the dance floor, while crystal-clear champagne glitters like starlight.

The Imperial does not merely host a party; it becomes the city’s beating heart as wishes lift with the balloons at midnight, and a new year—2026—begins in Imperial style.
