The Lodhi

The Lodhi, Lodhi Road, New Delhi, India - Explore & Book

"It’s rare I visit a hotel and end up wishing I could stay forever, but this was the feeling that enveloped me at The Lodhi. It covers 7 acres yet has been designed to feel fantastically private and tranquil. From the upper floors there are views out over the lushness of Lodhi Gardens and Humayun’s Tomb. Designed by architect Kerry Hill, the building itself is an exquisite modern take on Mughal architecture, with clean lines, pale yellow-gold stone, and delicate jalis (carved stone screens) which create geometric patterns of sunlight wherever you look. Rooms are as large as suites, while the suites are larger still - and most have an indoor-outdoor terrace with a sleek plunge pool. Notably, there’s a personal touch here that’s often missing in 5-star properties. The general managers have the easygoing charm of old acquaintances, concerned only for your comfort, relaxation and enjoyment. There are 2 glamorous in-house restaurants, and you can explore the nearby sights of Delhi with a guide or independently, or simply play tennis and kick back at the fantastic spa. Wonderful.
