The new Novotel New Delhi City Centre brands itself as the ‘Dilli From The Heart.' Located amidst a bustling city centre in Delhi's Jhandewalan, enclosed by iconic tourist spots such as Jama Masjid and Lotus Temple, the hotel has been strategically placed to offer travellers an interesting mix of luxury and leisure. However, for first-time guests, the hotel vicinity, with its buzzing vibe, may not hit the right chord.
The impression will fade away as soon as you enter and tour its rooms. The sweeping city views from the wide glass window will justify why it’s been nestled so. A true example of “Dilli,” remember not Delhi, when you stand on its rooftop, only to be mesmerised by a picture-perfect glimpse of the city. Ensconced near key business hubs, shopping destinations, and cultural landmarks, the hotel embraces both connectivity and convenience, catering to travellers seeking fun, comfort and class.
From business to leisure, travellers can experience a restful stay here in its 124 rooms, including four junior suites and one soon-to-be operational presidential suite with the latest amenities. There is also a fully-equipped gym, with the promise of no-single-use plastic in its rooms. “It's a property built with an international mindset and a strong Indian heart,” Saumitra Chaturvedi, General Manager, Novotel New Delhi City Centre, told Outlook Traveller.
The hotel is a mix of all segments, from corporate and international to domestic travellers, who can come here for meetings, conferences and even weddings. The idea is to promote it as a MICE destination, inviting mainly business travellers to opt for our hotel, added Chaturvedi.
Once they finish their work, they can explore many places, from Connaught Place to Parliament Street, fittingly located near the hotel. While many cheaper accommodations are available nearby, including guest houses, the hotel is ideal if you don't want to deprive yourself of a lavish stay. "Regardless of where our hotel is situated, the brand presence has to be impressive. The competitive price factor will always exist, otherwise, how do we stand out," said Chaturvedi.
The hotel features over 5,000 sq ft of venue spaces, comprising an expansive ballroom, ideal for corporate gatherings, weddings, conferences and other celebrations. Heritage walks for a more immersive experience will soon be added to its offerings, taking guests on 'Dilli Darshan.' The plan is in the initial stage, and it's expected to take-off in the coming months.
Since its opening, multiple local guests have stayed at the hotel over the weekend, choosing it as a stopover while they shop in Chandni Chowk, spending quality time with their loved ones.
From families to couples, domestic tourists can come here and spend a lovely weekend enjoying its culinary vibe at Food Exchange, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant. With a range of beverages and light bites, the guests can savour from a thoughtfully curated menu of Indian and international cuisines. The rooftop bar is another exciting addition, where patrons can unwind while relishing a fizzy cocktail and enjoying the panoramic views from the infinity pool.
Getting There: The hotel is less than a km away from the Jhandewalan Metro Station on the blue line.
Address: Community Centre, Plot 1, Desh Bandhu Gupta Rd, Motia Khan, Sadar Bazaar, New Delhi, Delhi 110055.
