The Connaught, New Delhi - Taj Hotel

A prized location in Lutyens’ Delhi catapults The Connaught into an elite league of hospitality icons in the capital.

Just a 30 minute drive from Indira Gandhi International Airport, its vantage position is of both historical and contemporary significance. Conceptualised by Swedish designer Christian Lundwall, the 104-room, pet friendly hotel immerses you in an urban environment. Modish floor tiles, emerald green headboards, ochre ottomans and buttercup yellow chevron-patterned wallpapers infuse the well appointed rooms with colour and style. The Connaught’s culinary landscape is a treat for epicures.

The Hub, an all day diner, opens out to a picturesque, poolside patio designed for al fresco power brunches, romantic dinners and the Connaught High Street Tea, a charming confluence of British tradition with Indian spice. Stop by Qmin gourmet shop any time of the day to pick up international delicacies. For pre-dinner drinks, head to the cocktail bar – offering a premium selection of wine, beer and liqueur – to socialise with Delhi’s glitterati amid flamboyant Georgian-inspired décor. The hotel places you at the epicentre of the city’s trendiest clubs, pubs and art galleries. Acquaint yourself with the neighbourhood’s heritage sites, Rashtrapati Bhavan (official residence of the President of India), Humayun’s Tomb and Red Fort among others.
