First, it’s old Delhi and better for it. This is a tourist hotel, not business. But the lucky tourist, mostly Europeans. This is an incredibly well thought out, beautiful old haveli (mansion), now extremely comfortable Indian stay. Rooms are spacious, lovely decorated, large bathrooms with premium toiletries and thoughtful reading ( including, though you should read before your trip- Willie Dalrymple, City of Djinns- your basic preparation). Indian breakfast here are first rate and dinners are not to be missed- outstanding is an insufficient compliment. Extras abound from your personal kite to evening kite flying with charming staff, local terrific musical performances with dinner, rooftop monkeys, always available knowledgeable managerial staff.||Its isolation in old Delhi may, at first, be intimidating. Request and follow the hotel’s guidance. Though unfamiliar, the neighborhood is safe- as is the hotel. Tours offered by the hotel are pricey and you might want to independently investigate alternatives. However you will absolutely will benefit from local guidance and insight.||Little mentioned by management, note that there are two separate hotel buildings. The main (original) is vastly preferred.||Staying in NEW Delhi as an alternative is like staying in Chicago. Highlight of any India visit.
