The Leela Palace New Delhi — New Delhi
1 $$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.6

Modelled on the Rajputana palaces of Rajasthan, The Leela Palace commands a prime position on Diplomatic Enclave Road — a neo-classical jewel of hand-cut stonework, gold-leaf ceilings, and a level of attentive service that makes other five-stars feel pedestrian by comparison. The MEGU Japanese restaurant and Le Cirque are among Delhi's most celebrated dining addresses.

ITC Maurya — Diplomatic Enclave

★ 9.2

Diplomatic Enclave

ITC Maurya

ITC Maurya has been the address of every visiting head of state since it opened in 1977 — its Presidential Suite has hosted Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Vladimir Putin, and the Bukhara restaurant downstairs is widely considered to serve the finest frontier-style tandoor cooking on the planet, a claim that no serious food traveller to Delhi should leave untested.

Roseate House New Delhi — Aerocity
3 $$$ Upscale
★ 9.1

Roseate House is Aerocity's most design-forward property — a crisp, rose-marble-and-chrome hotel that transcends the transit-district category with its sculptural swimming pool, farm-to-table Kiyan restaurant, and rooms that feel genuinely residential rather than corporate. It is the natural first and last night choice for travellers who refuse to compromise on design even when convenience dictates location.

About This Guide

Developed as part of the airport expansion, Aerocity hosts the broadest concentration of internationally branded hotels in India. While it lacks the character of Delhi's historical neighbourhoods, its proximity to the airport and the direct Metro connection to the city centre make it a rational choice for short stays and early-morning departures.

Insider Tips

  • 1

    The Airport Metro Express runs from 4:45am to 11:30pm — check the last service before a late-night arrival.

  • 2

    The Worldmark dining complex in Aerocity has some genuinely good restaurants, making it less of a hotel-dependent enclave than it first appears.

  • 3

    If transiting with a long layover, Aerocity's hotels offer good day-rate packages.
