Best Hotels in Delhi (2026)

Where you stay in Delhi shapes your visit. Central New Delhi, around Connaught Place and Janpath, is the most convenient base for first-time visitors, with the heritage Imperial and the design-led Park New Delhi both within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Paharganj, near New Delhi railway station, has many budget hotels, and Old Delhi now has Haveli Dharampura, a restored mansion near the Jama Masjid that hosts kathak and music evenings.

South and south-central Delhi are quieter and greener. The Oberoi overlooks Humayun's Tomb and the golf course, The Lodhi is a calm contemporary retreat with plunge pools in its suites, and The Leela Palace in Chanakyapuri brings palace-style luxury to the diplomatic district. In New Friends Colony, The Manor is a 12-room boutique hotel with gardens, and The Hosteller Delhi offers social, air-conditioned dorms and private rooms near Ashram metro station. South Delhi is also the most accessible area from the airport. Rates rise in the cooler months from October to March, so book early for that period.
