The Oberoi New Delhi is a hotel for travellers who want calm, discreet service and a southern location close to the Mughal monuments. It stands on Dr Zakir Hussain Marg overlooking the greens of the Delhi Golf Club, which gives many of its rooms a view of lawns and trees rather than city streets. Humayun’s Tomb, Sunder Nursery and Lodhi Garden are close, so it is a natural base for a visit built around the tombs and gardens of south-central Delhi. The Oberoi group is known for attentive, personal service, and the hotel has a spa, a pool and a fitness centre, along with several restaurants and a bar. The interior is modern and elegant, with a contemporary design that contrasts with the grand palace style of some other Delhi luxury hotels. For travellers who value peace, a green outlook and straightforward luxury, it is a very comfortable place to stay, and the location saves time on the monument circuit.
Location and getting around
The hotel is on the edge of the golf club, about a ten-minute drive from Humayun’s Tomb and Lodhi Garden, and not far from Khan Market, India Gate and the National Museum. Old Delhi and the Red Fort are further north, so plan on a car. Jangpura and Khan Market are the nearest metro areas, but taxis are the practical way to travel.
Rooms
Expect elegant, modern rooms with large windows, with golf-course views on one side and city views on the other. Suites add space and lounge access. Rooms are quiet and well equipped.
Who it suits
Couples, honeymooners and travellers who want a refined, peaceful stay near the Mughal tombs. It is also a strong choice for anyone who values a green outlook in a dense city.
Good to know
Prices rise in the October to March season and around weddings. Check whether breakfast and transfers are included. Book restaurants ahead at weekends, and ask the concierge about private guides for Humayun’s Tomb and the Qutub Minar.
