Overview & History
Le Meridien New Delhi is a 5-star hotel under Marriott International, occupying a distinctive glass tower at Windsor Place on Janpath, on the edge of Connaught Place. The hotel opened in 1988 and has since become a familiar part of the central Delhi skyline, recognised among the city's landmark buildings. Its rooms and public spaces have been refreshed over the years to keep the contemporary look the brand is known for, and the property remains one of the larger upscale hotels in the very centre of the capital.
The building's full-height glazing is its defining feature: most rooms and several of the restaurants look directly out over Lutyens' Delhi, including the government district to the south. That outlook, combined with a position a short walk from Connaught Place, has made it a long-standing choice for corporate and conference travellers.
Location & Getting There
The hotel sits in one of the most central positions in the city, a short distance from Connaught Place, Janpath and the main government precinct. Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is about 14 km away, usually a 35-minute drive depending on traffic. The nearest Metro is Central Secretariat on the Yellow and Violet Lines, roughly 900 metres away and reachable on foot in around 12 minutes, with Janpath station also close by. New Delhi railway station is a short drive to the north. This central location makes the hotel a practical base for both business in the central business district and sightseeing across the city.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation spans Classic and Deluxe Rooms, Club Rooms with lounge access, an extensive range of thematic suites, and a Presidential Suite. The floor-to-ceiling windows are a signature feature, giving rooms an open feel and wide views across the capital. Rooms come with modern in-room technology, tea and coffee facilities and 24-hour room service, and club-tier guests benefit from a dedicated lounge with breakfast and evening refreshments. The large suite collection makes the hotel a flexible option for guests who want more space or are travelling for longer.
Dining
The hotel has a strong dining line-up across several outlets. The One is the all-day international restaurant, known for its global buffet and signature coffee service, while eau de Monsoon serves refined regional Indian cuisine rooted in tradition. On the upper floors, XO & Mi @ Le Belvedère offers modern Asian food with rooftop views over Lutyens' Delhi, and Pakwan specialises in North-West Frontier dishes, at times accompanied by live ghazal performances. The Permit Room is a colonial-inspired bar and lounge with sweeping views over the city skyline.
Amenities & Facilities
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool on the fourth floor, the Three Graces Spa by Amatrra with private therapy suites for couples and a meditation room, and a 24-hour fitness centre. The hotel also provides 24-hour in-room dining, a business centre, concierge and travel desk, valet parking and complimentary Wi-Fi. The spread of wellness facilities and dining options means guests rarely need to leave the building, which is an advantage given the busy central location.
Meetings, Weddings & Events
Le Meridien New Delhi is well set up for events, with large banquet halls and conference rooms supported by experienced in-house catering and event teams. Its central location and ample function space make it a regular venue for conferences, corporate functions, exhibitions and weddings, with capacity for both intimate meetings and large receptions. The hotel's proximity to government offices and the central business district adds to its appeal for corporate gatherings.
The Neighbourhood
The hotel is surrounded by central Delhi's main attractions. Connaught Place, with its shops, restaurants and offices, is about 1.5 km away, while Jantar Mantar, Janpath Market and the National Museum are all within walking or short driving distance. India Gate, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Parliament House and Gurudwara Bangla Sahib are also close by, giving guests easy access to the city's landmarks and government precinct.
