One of the city’s most iconic properties, the Oberoi is the perfect introduction to the magic of India and represents the old world charm, grace and elegance of Lutyen’s Delhi. Recently reopened after a massive refurbishment, it successfully combines state-of-the-art luxury while retaining its position as the grande dame amongst the city’s hotels.

Each of the oversized guestrooms and suites are equipped with the latest technology and offer stunning views of either the Delhi Golf Club or the UNESCO World Heritage Humayun’s Tomb. It has several superb chic restaurants, a rooftop bar—a favorite with the smart set — and one of the city’s only 24-hour spas. The hotel has redefined international benchmarks of luxury hospitality and has been conferred with innumerable awards and accolades. The past roster of guests reads like a veritable Who’s Who of the great and the good and includes everyone from The Beatles to the Dalai Lama (he celebrated his 80th birthday here!)

Only 600 meters from the Taj Mahal stands the Oberoi Group’s luxury boutique resort, designed to give guests uninterrupted views of the Taj from all rooms and suites. The classical Indian architecture of the property echoes the Taj in its arches and inlay, and is complemented by elaborate Mughal style gardens, terraced lawns, fountains, reflecting pools, and pavilions.

All of the elegantly appointed deluxe rooms and suites, many of which have private terraces, are a wonderful blend of luxury and comfort. Teak flooring, handcrafted furniture, lavishly appointed bathrooms with Pilkinton Australian glass walls and Greek Thesos marble flooring are especially worth mentioning, along with a host of other features in keeping with the unparalleled standards of service, comfort and elegance for which the Oberoi Group is renowned.

This luxury hotel with its own distinctive character revives the gracious lifestyles of Rajasthan’s legendary Rajput princes. Located 5 miles from the pink city of Jaipur, a royal fortress in 32 acres of lush gardens, pools and fountains, Rajvilas offers the highest standard of facilities and services for which Oberoi Hotels are recognized around the world. The guest list is a veritable Who’s Who, with Bill Clinton as an honored guest during his presidential visit.

All rooms have large four-poster beds and sunken marble baths overlooking private walled gardens. The air- conditioned luxury tents and tented villas are a unique addition, with embroidered interior canopies, private swimming pools, and out-door garden pavilions. The hotel’s world-class spa is housed in a haveli, or traditional Rajasthani mansion, which has been restored to its former beauty.

Located at the edge of Lake Pichola, this beautiful resort captures all the romance and splendor of a royal era. Conceived as a traditional Indian palace, the grand architecture inspired by the palaces of Rajasthan present a picture of majesty resplendent with pavilions and domes that lead you through a journey of discovery.

Interiors embellished with decorative domes, hand painted frescoes, intricate mirror work and beautifully crafted artefacts create an ambience of regal splendor. The Oberoi Udaivilas showcases the rich heritage of the Mewar region of Rajasthan. Its rambling courtyards, gentle rippling fountains, reflecting pools and lush gardens makes this resort the perfect getaway!

Conveniently located close to Delhi airport, this contemporary and luxurious hotel is an urban sanctuary with its glass and chrome exterior, opulent interiors and trendy dining spaces. Setting it apart from other hotels, The Leela Gurgaon has 412 spacious rooms and boasts easy access to one of the city’s most upscale malls — the next door Ambience Mall — the perfect place to head out for a last shopping trip before the flight home. 

The hotel also has some of the best restaurants in the city. Spectra, the all-day dining restaurant features seven interactive show kitchens showcasing the best of Indian, Western, Japanese and Chinese cuisines. Diya, the Indian restaurant showcases the incredible diversity of Indian cuisine, from the robust flavors of Punjab to the coconut flavored delights of the Southern states. Zanotta, a favorite with the city’s swish set is known for its homestyle Italian cuisine. For those wishing to sit back and enjoy a drink, The Rubicon Bar is the perfect haven.
