Overview & History
The Grand New Delhi is a five-star deluxe hotel in Vasant Kunj, in the south-west of the capital. It sits on a large landscaped plot of roughly ten acres, with courtyard gardens, lawns and water features that give it a resort-like feel uncommon for a city hotel. The property runs to around 390 rooms and suites across a wide spread of categories, plus a small number of service apartments for extended stays, making it one of the larger luxury hotels in this part of Delhi.
Its main draw is the combination of space and proximity to the airport. Few hotels of this scale sit so close to Indira Gandhi International while still being firmly within South Delhi's residential and retail belt. The design takes cues from a French courtyard layout, with the buildings wrapped around open garden space rather than facing the street, so the interior feels insulated from the surrounding road network.
Location & Getting There
The hotel is on Nelson Mandela Marg in Vasant Kunj, Phase II. Indira Gandhi International Airport is about 8 km away, a 20-minute drive in normal traffic, which makes it a practical choice for early departures or late arrivals. The nearest Metro is Chhatarpur on the Yellow Line, roughly 4.5 km away; most guests use taxis or hotel cars rather than the Metro given the distance. Central Delhi and Connaught Place are around 40 to 50 minutes by road. The hotel runs a travel desk and can arrange airport transfers, which most guests prefer over the Metro given the distance to the nearest station and the volume of luggage typical of airport-adjacent stays.
Rooms & Suites
Accommodation is led by the Grand Premium Room, the entry category and the largest block, available with city, garden or pool outlooks and a choice of bedding. Above that sit the Grand Club Rooms, which add lounge access with private check-in and evening refreshments. The suite ladder runs through Business and Executive Suites up to the Presidential Suite, which has a private bar, pantry and butler service. Rooms are comfortably sized with marble bathrooms and work desks throughout, and outlooks vary between the gardens, the pool and the surrounding cityscape. A small set of service apartments is also available for guests needing a kitchenette and a more residential setup over an extended stay.
Dining
The hotel's flagship restaurant is DKK (Dilli Kanteen Kitchen), the all-day venue where breakfast is served, blending global dishes with Indian cooking. Woktok covers Pan-Asian cuisine spanning Japanese, Southeast Asian and Chinese. For drinks, GBar is the cocktail lounge with live music, while Cascades in the lobby serves tea, coffee and light refreshments through the day. Indulge is a patisserie and gourmet boutique, and the poolside bar Aqua operates seasonally.
Amenities & Facilities
Leisure facilities centre on the outdoor pool set among the gardens and the Oasis Spa, which offers treatments alongside steam, sauna and a fully equipped fitness centre. There is free Wi-Fi throughout, a travel and concierge desk, room service and on-site parking. The grounds themselves are part of the appeal, giving guests room to walk and unwind away from the road.
Meetings, Weddings & Events
The Grand is a well-known wedding and events address in South Delhi. Its banquet halls and the surrounding lawns can take large gatherings, and the scale of the grounds suits multi-function celebrations as well as conferences and corporate offsites. Dedicated event spaces and catering are handled in-house.
The Neighbourhood
Vasant Kunj is one of Delhi's prime retail districts. DLF Emporio and the Ambience Mall are within a couple of kilometres, putting luxury shopping and a wide choice of dining close by. Qutub Minar and the Garden of Five Senses are a short drive away, and the Chhatarpur Temple is also nearby, giving guests a mix of heritage and green space within easy reach.
Who It's Best For
The hotel works well for travellers who want a spacious, airport-proximate luxury base rather than a city-centre location. It suits wedding and event parties drawn by the grounds, business guests who value the Club floor and meeting facilities, and shoppers headed for the Vasant Kunj malls. Those whose plans are anchored around Connaught Place or Old Delhi should factor in the drive into town. For most guests, the trade-off of a slightly out-of-centre location in return for grounds, space and easy airport access is the reason to stay here.
