Overview & History
The Radisson Blu Plaza Delhi Airport opened in 1998 and was one of the first full-service international hotels to anchor the airport corridor on National Highway 8 at Mahipalpur. Operated under the Radisson Blu brand of Radisson Hotel Group, it has 261 rooms and suites and has crossed 25 years in operation, refreshing its rooms and public areas over time. It is a business-and-airport hotel rather than a leisure resort, and its long-standing reputation rests on dependable service and a clutch of well-known restaurants. For a generation of travellers passing through Delhi, this address has been the default airport hotel, and that familiarity is part of its appeal.
Location & Getting There
The hotel sits directly on NH-8 opposite the airport approach, roughly 3 km and about a 10-minute drive from IGI Terminal 3, which makes it a natural choice for early departures and late arrivals. A complimentary airport shuttle runs for guests, removing the worry of arranging transport at unsociable hours. The Delhi Aerocity station on the Airport Express Line is about a kilometre away, giving a fast metro link to New Delhi Railway Station and the city centre in around 20 minutes. The Delhi-Gurugram Expressway passes alongside, so Gurugram's corporate offices and the wider business belt are a short drive south, while central Delhi is reachable in 30 to 40 minutes off-peak.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation runs from Superior rooms through Premium and Business Class categories up to suites. Business Class rooms add lounge access with breakfast and evening refreshments, which suits corporate guests on short stays who want to compress check-in, work and a light meal into one space. Rooms are contemporary and soundproofed against the highway, with work desks, in-room safes, tea and coffee facilities and modern bathrooms. The hotel markets a focus on sustainable, energy-conscious operations across its room stock, and the higher categories give more space for guests settling in for a longer stretch.
Dining
Dining is a genuine strength and a reason guests return. The Great Kabab Factory is a celebrated North Indian kebab and grill restaurant with a set-menu format that has become a brand in its own right. Soy x Neung Roi serves Thai and Pan-Asian dishes, including Nikkei-influenced plates, in a more contemporary setting, while NYC handles all-day international dining and generous buffets. A bar and lounge and 24-hour in-room dining round out the choices, so guests arriving at odd hours, or unwinding before a dawn flight, are well catered for without leaving the building.
Amenities & Facilities
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, R the Spa for massages and therapies, a 24-hour fitness centre, a business centre and free high-speed Wi-Fi throughout. A travel desk and concierge help with onward arrangements, currency and tours, and on-site parking is available. The combination of pool, spa and round-the-clock food makes it comfortable for a day-use or transit stay as well as an overnight, and the airport hotel format means staff are used to quick turnarounds, luggage storage and flexible meal timings.
Meetings, Weddings & Events
The hotel has multiple banquet and conference venues and is a popular choice for airport-adjacent corporate events, conferences and weddings. Its proximity to the terminal makes it convenient for out-of-town delegates who want to meet without travelling deep into the city, and the banquet teams handle both business functions and social celebrations. Pillarless halls and supporting meeting rooms allow a mix of plenary sessions and breakouts, and the in-house kitchens cater large functions drawing on the same culinary teams behind the restaurants.
The Neighbourhood
Mahipalpur is a busy commercial pocket beside the airport rather than a sightseeing district, but the location is well connected. The Aerocity hospitality and dining hub is a couple of kilometres away, and Worldmark Aerocity adds more restaurants, cafes and offices within easy reach. The malls of Vasant Kunj, including DLF Promenade and Emporio, are about 6 km off for shopping and cinema, and Qutub Minar is around 10 km for guests with a few spare hours before a flight. For most visitors, though, the draw is convenience rather than the immediate surroundings.
Who It's Best For
This is a hotel built around the airport. It works best for travellers with early-morning or late-night flights, layover guests who want a proper 5-star bed and a pool rather than a transit lounge, corporate visitors meeting near IGI, and event organisers who need banqueting close to the terminal. The free shuttle, 24-hour dining and quick-turnaround service all point to that audience. Leisure travellers focused on Old Delhi or Lutyens' sightseeing may prefer a more central base, but for anyone whose plans revolve around the airport, the location is hard to beat.
