The Lodhi, Delhi, India
Home Hotels The Lodhi

The Lodhi

B Corp
Contact us

The Lodhi Hotel is a modern, chic city hotel with a zen-like feel set amongst three acres of gardens. The Lodhi Hotel is the only hotel with views across to Humayan’s Tomb in New Delhi.

Each of the 48 cavernous rooms and suites has its own private swimming pool and the staff are delightfully switched on and attentive.

Why we like The Lodhi

Where else can you cool off in your private pool with a view of Humayun’s Tomb in Delhi? The rooms at The Lodhi are vast and the staff delightful.

Facilities

48 rooms and suites of impeccable design and standard, most offering a private plunge pool. There is a gym, a spa and a 50 metre heated outdoor lap pool. The spa has male and female hammams with several plunge pools of varying temperatures to ease sore muscles and travel-weary joints after long trips. There are also tennis and squash courts and an array of dining options including the famous Indian Accent restaurant.
