The LaLiT New Delhi is a big, reliable, centrally placed hotel on Barakhamba Road, and its biggest strength is its location. Connaught Place, the circular shopping and dining hub of New Delhi, is within walking distance, as are the markets of Janpath and the metro lines that run to Old Delhi, the airport and the southern monuments. The hotel is large, with a pool, a spa, a fitness centre and several restaurants and bars, including the well-known Baluchi restaurant for North Indian cooking. Its style is polished and contemporary, aimed at both business travellers and tourists, and the lobby and public areas are busy and lively. It is a good fit for visitors who want to be near the action and have public transport on the doorstep, with enough facilities that they do not need to leave the building. The drawback is that the area is crowded and traffic can be heavy, so walk and use the metro where possible rather than taking cars at peak times.
Location and getting around
Barakhamba Road and Connaught Place are in the heart of New Delhi. The Barakhamba Road and Mandi House metro stations are close, and the metro connects directly to the Red Fort area, the airport line and the southern sights. India Gate, Jantar Mantar and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib are all within a short ride, and some visitors walk to Connaught Place for dinner.
Rooms
Rooms are modern and comfortable, with business-friendly desks and larger suites for families. Rooms on higher floors are quieter and offer city views.
Who it suits
Business travellers, first-time visitors, families and anyone who prizes central access and public transport. It is less suited to travellers who want a secluded, garden-style retreat.
Good to know
Check whether breakfast is included, since rates vary. Peak season runs from October to March and around wedding dates. The city centre is lively late into the evening, so light sleepers should ask for a higher floor or a room away from the road.
