The property also boasts a spa and salon, a library with an adjacent cigar lounge, a pool, and a state-of-the-art gym with ample space for Pilates, yoga, and squash.

One of the best 7 star hotels in Delhi, this famous American hotel is located in Aerocity – right next to IGI airport! The place will make emptying your deep pockets totally worth it by giving you ample privacy and space, as well as extravagant facilities. We suggest taking time out to be pampered at their 24X7 Quan Spa (a recipient of the most luxurious spa treatment award by the Asia Spa Awards) or get the fitness groove going in their fitness centre or the T- shaped pool. They also have awesome restaurants on-site like the K3 – a round-the-clock, buffet style restaurant, Akira Back for a taste of Japanese and Korean cuisines and more (four of them, to be precise). The rooms are minimally done and designed to make you feel relaxed as soon as you step in.

The place screams colonial elegance and is one of India’s best luxury historical hotels. Expect vintage photographs, architectural brilliance and astounding Victorian decor.
