So you’ve decided to visit India’s capital city for your much needed holiday. We commend your decision – Delhi has mastered the art of blending modern life with the historic. Afterall, the city is said to have been in existence for more than 5,000 years. And what can help you better appreciate the beauty of the city than from a high window in one of its many luxury hotels?
And what better place to pamper your senses than Bill Clinton’s favourite stay – The Maurya Sheraton. The name derives from the erstwhile Mauryan Dynasty, which was the largest empire to rule the subcontinent until the British Raj. The name suggests the majestic ambience of the hotel. Situated in the heart of Delhi’s Diplomatic Enclave, The Maurya Sheraton, or simply Maurya, is surrounded by the lush greenery of the city’s forest ridge.
The hotel, which is a part of the ITC Welcomgroup of hotels, has easy access through the newly constructed clover-shaped flyover at Dhaula Kuan and is a mere 14 kms from the International Airport. It has a total of 547 rooms, including 107 Tower rooms, 166 Executive Club rooms, 76 single rooms and 63 uniquely-styled suites. Room tariffs range from Rs28,000 to Rs85,000 (plus taxes) per day and include a breakfast buffet. The Presidential and Grand Presidential Suites are much more luxurious and expensive!
The Maurya Sheraton houses some of Delhi’s best eateries – Bukhara and Dumpukht, both of which have won accolades for their cuisine the world over. It has a total of six restaurants, offering a variety of foods from India and across the world. Dublin, a pub styled after the London pubs, is possibly is the only one can get lager and Irish beer in the city.
