Hotels and luxury and have always been synonymous with each other; however, there is something special about the opulence found in Indian hotels that simply can't be matched elsewhere.

 

1.) Historical Significance

Some hotels are built to order and are often created from the ground up based on the specifications of the hotel chain in question. While this allows for the creation of truly luxurious accommodations, there is little in the way of historical significance. Many hotels in New Delhi have been re-purposed from former historical buildings and palaces which makes you feel as if you are stepping into history.

 

2.) Heritage

Aside from historical significance, there are also Delhi five star hotels like The Imperial that showcase artifacts from India's colonial and post-colonial periods. It is an excellent location for viewing one of the most significant periods in Indian history.

 

3.) Price

Delhi's hotels are far cheaper than many of the luxury hotels located in the U.S. and Europe, yet have accommodations that put some of them to shame.

 

4.) Fort Living

Yes, this may seem like a very unusual aspect; however, the former palaces and homes of nobles within the country were not the only buildings converted into hotels. Some former forts were transformed into accommodations that outstrip those of hotels in other countries. These accommodations have a unique open air feel due to former training grounds being converted into open air gardens that have been inlaid with marble flooring. 

 

5.) The Food!

Of course the food! Eating at any one of the luxury hotels in New Delhi can be an experience that is simply unforgettable. You can indulge yourself with fresh seafood and local cuisine or you can opt for the wide array of different international options that are available. It should also be noted that the ambiance itself is far different when compared to other hotels in other countries due its focus on accommodating the Indian culture into the design of the restaurant layout.

 

6.) Some of the Friendliest Staff around

When you go to a luxury hotel in India, you definitely feel like you are being treated like royalty. This is due to a combination of India's colonial past and the general culture of the people which is more open and friendly as compared to various other cultures.

 

7.) Location, Location, Location

Since many of these residences used to be former forts, palaces and noble houses, they tend to be situated near some of the many tourist attractions in New Delhi as well as being close to the central business district. As such, if you are a business traveler looking for a hotel that is close to the financial district or you're someone that wants accommodations close to an assortment of different local attractions, luxury hotels in India are your best solution.

 

8.) Access to the Night Life

One rather strange quirk of luxury hotels in New Delhi is that they are often connected to the night life of the country instead of being separated from it. This is in part due to the concept of night clubs and bars being relatively new to the conservative Indian population. However, with the influx of wealth into the country, more people have begun to develop an appetite for western products and experiences. Hotels in New Delhi have capitalized on this with many of them developing bars, night clubs and other attractions that are specifically geared towards appealing to this growing segment of the local population.

 

9.) Concerts and Events

Due to the sheer size of some of the luxury hotels in New Delhi (some of them used to be palaces!) there are actually numerous venues and concert halls that have been created within them. Ranging from conferences to the concerts of internationally well known musical artists, these events can be one of a kind experiences that are well worth looking into. You can request the concierge at the hotel to reserve you a ticket and, since you are one of their guests, it is likely that they will definitely make your request a priority.

 

10.) The Rooms are Enormous!

One of the problems with modern day hotels is that space is always at a premium in these locations. It is due to this that they tend to cram the concept of "luxury" into as small a space as they can and call it "hotel living". This is a problem that is rarely seen in the high end hotels in New Delhi since, due to the conversion of many of them from former palaces, the rooms are far bigger than what you can normally see in their western counterparts and this is true for even their more modest accommodations.

 

All and all, staying in a luxury hotel in India can be a truly amazing experience that combines history, culture and opulence into one package
