Set in Lutyens’ Delhi on Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road, The Claridges New Delhi is a low-rise white landmark arranged around gardens, palms and a sheltered pool courtyard. Rooms and suites carry a classic, composed character, with marble, patterned rugs and larger heritage-inspired layouts in the higher categories. The hotel’s dining spans Pickwick, Dhaba, Sevilla, Jade and Ye Old Bakery, while Cinqtuair Spa, Sumaya gym, a golf simulator and outdoor and indoor pools broaden the resort feeling within the capital. The garden frontage and shaded pool terraces remain its most recognisable spaces.
