On Mansingh Road in Lutyens’ New Delhi, Taj Mahal New Delhi presents a restrained sandstone exterior close to the President’s Estate and India Gate. Recently renewed rooms and suites combine contemporary lines with Indian textiles, artwork and warm timber, many overlooking the capital’s broad avenues or gardens. Machan remains the hotel’s all-day institution, joined by House of Ming, Rick’s, Captain’s Cellar and the Emperor Lounge. The outdoor pool and J Wellness Circle are set behind the main building, where mature planting softens the geometry of the central city address.
