What is Aerocity?
A small, modern hotel district right next to Indira Gandhi International Airport. Here you have hotels, restaurants, clubs and cafés within a few minutes' walk of each other.
We'll be staying at Roseate House, Aerocity (not The Roseate New Delhi, which is a different hotel further out). All the hotels we recommend below are in the same area, a short walk apart — but there is no programme at any hotel, so pick whichever one you like.
The area is calm and easy to walk around, about five minutes from the terminal, with restaurants and shops by the hotels and every venue a 15–20 minute drive away. Most guests will be staying here, so sharing cars is straightforward. Delhi is full of hotels all over town, though, so do feel free to look elsewhere, below are our Aerocity suggestions, and after them a few of Simerjit's own favourites in other parts of the city.
Where to book
The ones marked In Aerocity are all a short walk from each other, by the airport. The ones marked Further away are Simerjit's own favourites in Delhi, all wonderful, but the trade-off is more time in the car, and you won't be near the other guests.
