Andaz Delhi

Within its artfully-done walls, the Andaz has a handful of superb eateries and watering holes. Get your fill of Cantonese cuisine at the Hong Kong Club, tuck into fresh, locally-sourced dishes at the AnnaMaya Foodhall or enjoy pizzas by the all-woman team at Soul Pantry. One of India's very first gin bars, the Juniper Bar serves up mean mixes including the potent Delhi's Fire. At the spa, enjoy a handcrafted journey to wellness and relaxation, or head to the pool and relax surrounded by manicured gardens.

All brightly-lit by large picture windows, the hotel has a collection of rooms, and suites, as well as some apartments in the residential section. Their honeyed hardwood floors and crisp white linens create a homely feel, and each has a unique artwork reflecting the drama of Delhi. The suites kick the luxury levels up a notch with the addition of a small sitting room or dining area, while the residences have fully-equipped kitchens. The en-suite bathrooms are open-plan and fitted with fine amenities.

Delhi is an uproarious collision of old and new, and it's well worth exploring a little of everything. Visit the iconic Qutb Minar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with incredible carvings, explore the remarkable Red Fort, stroll through the serene Lodi Garden or get your shopping fix at one of the city's many markets – from souvenirs to spices, you'll be spoiled for choice. When you're all walked-out, take a dip in the pool back at the Andaz or enjoy a pampering treatment at the spa.
