The Lodhi, New Delhi — quick facts

Overview & History

The Lodhi is a contemporary five-star hotel on Lodhi Road in central New Delhi, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. The building was designed by Kerry Hill Architects, with intricate jaali screens, rough and smooth stone surfaces and lofty ceilings that nod to Indian craft while staying firmly modern. It reopened under the Lodhi name in 2010, having previously operated under another flag, and is set across several acres of gardens close to Lodhi Gardens and Humayun's Tomb. The architecture, light and sense of calm are as much a reason to stay as the rooms themselves.

The hotel is deliberately small for its scale of facilities: around 40 rooms and suites, most with their own private plunge pool, making it one of the most spacious and design-led properties in the city. The low room count, set against extensive grounds and amenities, gives it an unusually private feel for a central Delhi hotel.

Location & Getting There

The Lodhi stands on Lodhi Road, beside the India Habitat Centre and within a short distance of Lodhi Gardens, Humayun's Tomb and Khan Market. The setting is green and quiet despite being central, bordered by some of the city's most pleasant parkland. The nearest metro stations are JLN Stadium and Jangpura on the Violet Line, both around a couple of kilometres away. Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) is about 16 km away, typically a 35-minute drive depending on traffic, and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station is only a few kilometres off. The location works well for heritage sightseeing, the cultural venues around Lodhi Road, and the restaurants and galleries of central Delhi.

Rooms & Suites

The Lodhi has some of the largest rooms in Delhi. The Lodhi Deluxe Room runs to around 129 square metres, and the suites climb from there to the Verandah Pool Suites at over 250 square metres. Most categories include a private plunge pool and an expansive balcony or verandah, with views over the lawns, the city skyline or Humayun's Tomb. Interiors are restrained and tactile — stone, timber and natural light — in keeping with the Kerry Hill design, and the larger suites add separate living rooms, dining areas and kitchenettes. Bathrooms are generous, and the overall sense is of space and quiet rather than ornament.

Dining

The hotel's dining is among the best regarded in Delhi. Indian Accent, the modern Indian restaurant, has featured for years on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list and is the hotel's flagship table, known for inventive takes on regional Indian cooking. Élan is the all-day venue serving eclectic global food with an ingredient-first approach, while Perbacco offers classic and contemporary Italian cooking with a private dining room and a dedicated wine cellar. The Pool Café serves lighter bistro fare — juices, salads and sandwiches — beside the pool, the Lodhi Bakery handles patisserie and breads, and the Electric Room is the hotel's late-night bar and music space.

Amenities & Facilities

Recreation is unusually extensive for a city hotel. There is a 50-metre heated lap pool, the Lodhi Spa with a dedicated hammam, a stylist-curated salon, and a Technogym-equipped fitness centre. The grounds also hold three all-weather tennis courts, two squash courts and dedicated yoga, Pilates and spinning studios, along with more recent additions such as pickleball. Combined with the in-room plunge pools, this makes the hotel a strong choice for guests focused on wellness, training and sport during a city stay.

Meetings, Weddings & Events

The Lodhi's gardens, lawns and design-led interiors make it a sought-after venue for weddings, private celebrations and corporate events. The scale of the grounds suits outdoor functions, while the restaurants and banqueting kitchens give events a high culinary standard. The events team manages bespoke arrangements, from intimate dinners to larger gatherings, and the property's relative exclusivity and privacy appeal to those wanting a more discreet setting in central Delhi than a large convention hotel can offer.

The Neighbourhood

The Lodhi Road area is one of the most pleasant in the city. Lodhi Gardens, with its medieval tombs and walking paths, is close by, as is Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The India Habitat Centre and other cultural venues are next door, Khan Market is a short drive for shopping and cafés, and the dargah and food lanes of Nizamuddin are nearby for heritage and street food. The whole district is green, low-rise and walkable, with the central vista and India Gate only a little further on.

Who It's Best For

The Lodhi suits travellers who want contemporary design, space and privacy — in particular those drawn to a private plunge pool, serious wellness and racquet facilities, or a meal at Indian Accent. It is a fit for couples, design enthusiasts and guests who prefer a smaller, quieter property over a large convention hotel, as well as longer-staying visitors who value the gym, pool and courts. Those wanting a historic heritage building or a budget-friendly rate will look elsewhere, but for modern luxury and calm in central Delhi the Lodhi is a leading option.
