Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Lodhi Colony
For the rare traveller who wants Delhi entirely to themselves, Lutyens Bungalow offers exclusive-use of a historic government bungalow in the heart of the Lutyens Bungalow Zone — four private rooms, a walled garden, cook, butler, and the extraordinary sensation of living as Delhi's elite have for the past century. Available for full buyout only; the privacy is absolute.
Lodhi Colony
The Lodhi is Delhi's finest contemporary luxury hotel — an all-suite property where every room has a private plunge pool, set amidst the manicured lawns of Lodhi Colony with views of 15th-century Mughal monuments. The architecture by Denniston International is understated and masterful, and the rooftop pool with its panorama of the medieval garden is as memorable as any view in the city.
Civil Lines
The oldest continuously operating hotel in Delhi, Maidens was built in 1903 and retains a wonderfully unhurried colonial grandeur — verandahs wide enough for afternoon tea, a bar unchanged since Partition, and gardens that have hosted more Delhi history than can comfortably be summarised. Its location near the Civil Lines and Kashmiri Gate keeps it off the main tourist radar, making it a find for those who prefer atmosphere to amenity.
Old Delhi
A meticulously restored 19th-century haveli steps from the Jama Masjid, Haveli Dharampura is the most atmospheric hotel in Old Delhi — 13 rooms decorated with intricate carved woodwork, Rajasthani textiles, and antiques that transport guests to Mughal-era Shahjahanabad. The rooftop terrace overlooks the mosque's domes at sunset in a scene that feels entirely cinematic.
New Delhi
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.
New Delhi
The Oberoi New Delhi, recently renovated with a new restaurant wing and reimagined interiors, remains the gold standard for businesslike luxury in the capital — a hotel where the service is quietly brilliant, the rooms are among Delhi's finest, and the addition of the three-Michelin-starred Omya restaurant has given it a serious culinary identity to match its impeccable rooms.
