These rooms range from cheap dumps to classy rooms in the best neighborhoods of Delhi.
The Beaufort Inn
Top end
Taj Palace
Part of the Indian Hotels Chain. High-end luxury in the diplomatic enclave in Chanakyapuri, close to the US Embassy
The Grand
Still maintains high standards with an opulent lobby, modern rooms, pool and spa. 15 min from the airport. Is good for business, but rather awkward for tourism.
Hyatt Regency Delhi
Huge and slightly aged, but still 5 stars, outdoor pool, small gym and spa, 3 restaurants, and all the usual amenities. Halfway between the airport and Connaught Place.
The Imperial
Built in 1931. Has the only Chanel store in India as well as a priceless art collection, 'British Art on India.' It also has the largest collection of land war gallantry awards from India and neighbouring countries. Very classy, best value for least money in first class range. Good food and excellent service in restaurants.
Shangri-La
Part of the renowned Shangri La chain. Seafood buffets, an extensive breakfast buffet, and a good Asian restaurant on 1st floor with a Thai, Chinese and Japanese menu. 5 star service and good security. Only a 15 min walk from Connaught Place.
Oberoi Delhi
Mostly a high-end 'business' hotel. 5 stars. Expensive. Delhi's rich can be seen at the shopping complex which houses top brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci etc. and also at the lavish brunch on a Sunday afternoon.
Hotel Samrat
Just touches the 5 star luxury hotel levels, is a twin of The Ashoka Hotel.
Le Meridien
Landmark refurbished 5 star hotel. Along with the Shangri-La is one of the best hotels in the city in terms of location.
At the high end of the scale, demand far outstrips supply and it's not unusual to be asked US$400 for a very ordinary room. Getting a room at any of the hotels listed below for under US$200 will require good luck or timing. Beware that by law taxes for high-end Delhi hotels are still charged on the rack rate, so 12.5% on a US$400 room discounted to US$200 will still cost US$50 extra.
The Maurya Sheraton
One of the best in the city. Great restaurants, including the Bukhara.
Budget
Delhi has a large number of hotels, many of them centred around the tourist/backpacker hubs.
