The Connaught, New Delhi- IHCL SeleQtions

We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and were impressed from the moment we arrived. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, and the staff were extremely friendly, even offering us drinks while we waited — a lovely touch that made us feel welcome right away. The rooms, while on the smaller side, were uniquely decorated and had everything we needed for a short stay. We especially appreciated the view from our room, which looked out over the sports stadium behind the hotel — a nice surprise! We did encounter a minor issue with noise from a fan, but it was quickly and efficiently resolved by the team. In the evening, we spent a few relaxing hours at the hotel bar, which had a great atmosphere and a live singer performing — a really nice addition that elevated the whole experience. Breakfast the next morning was absolutely fantastic, with a generous spread of both Indian and continental options, as well as a great selection of freshly cooked dishes. It was honestly one of the best breakfasts we had during our travels across India. Overall, the hotel offered excellent value for money.

The hotel is well maintained and offers excellent value for money. The housekeeping staff are polite, friendly, and always ready to help—they were very attentive to our needs. The breakfast buffet is outstanding; don’t miss the freshly pressed orange juice—it’s absolutely divine. The restaurant food is also of high quality, with the lamb being particularly delicious. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I can’t speak highly enough of the incredible support I received from Anil, who went above and beyond to help with my travel plans. He assisted with booking my train tickets, then rearranged everything without hesitation when my situation changed, and changed again. Through it all, he remained helpful and humorous, and genuinely friendly, even while working a double shift. Nothing was too much trouble for him - promote him! As for the hotel, it’s a beautifully maintained colonial-era property that has been thoughtfully modernized without losing its charm. The bar was elegant and welcoming, the gym was well equipped, and the menu was excellent across the board. The food deserves a special mention - this was hands down the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten which I guess you’d for hope in India - with plenty of high-quality Western options as well. The service matched the food, especially Sandeep and his colleagues on the waiting staff, who were warm, attentive, and professional throughout. Location was very good if you want to see lots of the monuments around central Delhi, plus be witness to the craziness of the Connaught with a safe and comfy base to go back to. Would stay again for sure.

Great location, quite central to some of the things we wanted to see and do. Fresh facilities and clean comfortable rooms. Breakfast was very good at providing for dietary requirements, friendly professional service from the breakfast staff

This hotel is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. It's an old building renovated with a mid-century modern feel but with a funky twist. The decor has a character and is a pleasant break from your run-of-the-mill routine hotels. The rooms are compact but very functional.
