Delhi Hotels

There is a large number of hotels in Delhi offering everything from imperial luxury to cheap (and cockroach-friendly) hostel options. Delhi's top-end hotels quote their prices in US Dollars (only resident Indians are permitted to pay in Rupees), and visitors should note that the quoted rates do not usually include substantial local taxes. For the luxury hotels, these can add as much as 20% to quoted room rates.

The Delhi hotels below have been hand-picked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over US$300)
Moderate (US$150 to US$300)
Cheap (up to US$150)
These Delhi hotel prices are starting prices for a standard double room, excluding local taxes and breakfast, unless otherwise specified. All hotels listed have air conditioning.
