The Best Luxury Hotels in New Delhi, India
Delhi, the capital of India and one of the oldest cities in the world, is unlike any other city in the world. It's a place that not only touches your pulse, but actually quickens it to a frenetic pace. With a history stretching back many centuries and empires, Delhi is an intense blend of diverse cultures, expansive greenery, rich architecture and celebrated cuisine. From the maze of narrow streets, ancient havelis and colorful bazaars of Old Delhi to the best features of a modern city like gleaming malls and bustling markets, there is plenty to see and do in Delhi. This includes a visit to the World Heritage listed Tomb of Humayun, the first significant example of Mughal architecture in India. New Delhi is also home to some large luxury hotels that are a playground for high society and fashionistas. Here's my countdown of the top 10 hotels in the city.
