Overview & History
The Oberoi, New Delhi opened in 1965 as one of the city's first modern luxury hotels and reopened in January 2018 after a two-year, roughly US$100 million renovation that rebuilt it almost entirely. Operated by EIH Limited under the Oberoi Group, it is positioned at the top of the city's market. The renovation reduced the room count to 220 rooms and suites, including 34 suites, trading volume for space and light.
The result is a contemporary luxury hotel with large glazed rooms, a refined materials palette and a strong focus on service and dining. It sits clearly above the city's business five-stars in both rate and positioning, and its post-2018 condition is among the freshest of Delhi's grand hotels. The smaller room count relative to its rivals allows for a higher staff-to-guest ratio and a more personal style of service, which is central to the Oberoi brand's reputation.
Location & Getting There
The hotel is on Dr. Zakir Hussain Marg, Golf Links, New Delhi 110003, with the Delhi Golf Club on one side and Humayun's Tomb nearby. It is roughly 17 km from Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), about a 35-minute drive depending on traffic. The nearest Metro is JLN Stadium on the Violet Line, around 1 km away, with Khan Market station a similar distance, giving guests two easy access points to the network. Central Delhi, India Gate, Lodhi Garden and the Nizamuddin area are all close, and Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station is a short drive for onward rail travel. The central position means most of the city's business and heritage destinations are within a 15-minute radius.
Rooms & Suites
All rooms date from the 2018 rebuild and emphasise space and natural light, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing views of the golf course, Humayun's Tomb or the city skyline. Categories run from Deluxe and Premier rooms through Premier Plus to a range of suites, topped by the Kohinoor Suite. Higher floors carry the best outlooks. Technology and in-room controls were modernised in the renovation, with tablet-based controls and high-specification fittings, and the overall feel is one of restrained contemporary luxury rather than ornamentation. Bathrooms are notably generous, and the floor-to-ceiling glazing is one of the property's defining features.
Dining
Dining is a defining strength and a destination in its own right. 360° is the all-day multi-cuisine restaurant, popular for breakfast and business meals; Omya serves contemporary Indian cooking, and Baoshuan offers Chinese cuisine developed with Michelin-starred chef Andrew Wong. Cirrus 9 is the rooftop bar with sweeping city views, a well-known evening venue, and the patisserie and lounge handle lighter daytime dining and afternoon tea. Several of these venues are regularly listed among Delhi's better restaurants, and many guests book the hotel partly for the food. In-room dining is available around the clock.
Amenities & Facilities
Facilities include a rooftop swimming pool with golf-course views, The Oberoi Spa and a 24-hour fitness centre, alongside a business centre, banquet and meeting space, 24-hour in-room dining, concierge and travel desk, valet parking and complimentary Wi-Fi. Service ratios are high, in keeping with the hotel's luxury positioning, and the spa offers a full menu of treatments in a quiet setting away from the public areas.
Meetings, Weddings & Events
The Oberoi handles events at a more intimate, high-end scale than the city's convention hotels. Its banquet and meeting rooms suit board meetings, private dinners, smaller conferences and refined weddings where finish and service matter more than sheer headcount. The central location and golf-course aspect make it a sought-after address for upmarket private functions.
The Neighbourhood
The setting is one of central Delhi's best: the Delhi Golf Club and Humayun's Tomb on the doorstep, Khan Market and Lodhi Garden a short walk or drive away, and India Gate and the Central Vista nearby. This part of the city is green, walkable in places and rich in heritage, giving guests far more to do on foot than the embassy-district hotels offer, while staying convenient for business in central and south Delhi. Khan Market's shops and restaurants, Lodhi Garden's lawns and the monuments of the Nizamuddin area are all within reach, making the location as appealing to leisure visitors as to corporate ones.
Who It's Best For
The hotel suits discerning luxury and leisure travellers, senior business guests who value a central, recently renovated property, and visitors who come for the dining as much as the stay. Its rates sit at the top of the Delhi market, so it is aimed at guests seeking the city's premium tier rather than mid-range value, and it rewards those who make use of the restaurants, spa and rooftop bar. For luxury, location and a fresh post-2018 product with attentive service, it is one of central Delhi's strongest choices.
