Taj Mahal Hotel New Delhi — New Delhi
1 $$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.3

Built in 1978 to stand in dialogue with Lutyens's imperial vision, the Taj Mahal Hotel New Delhi is defined by its sweeping views of India Gate from the upper floors and by a culinary programme — spanning House of Ming, Machan, and the Varq restaurant — that represents some of the finest dining in the capital. The pool deck is serene, the service characteristically warm.

Roseate House New Delhi — Aerocity
2 $$$ 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

The view from above changes everything. Delhi's best rooftop hotels don't just offer a room with a view — they offer entire elevated experiences. Rooftop bars where the city's skyline becomes your backdrop, infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and open-air restaurants where every table has a panorama. Roseate House New Delhi boasts what many consider the finest rooftop panorama in Delhi, with 360-degree views and a cocktail programme curated by an award-winning mixologist. Taj Mahal Hotel New Delhi features a stunning infinity pool that's become one of the most photographed hotel features in the city. We've evaluated not just the views but the complete rooftop experience — quality of food and drinks, atmosphere, seating comfort, and whether the space feels genuinely special or merely elevated.
