Of great cultural, historical and political significance, Delhi is India’s largest city. It’s also one of the world’s oldest cities and became the nation’s capital in 1912 when the administrative power was relocated from Calcutta. As well as being a city, it’s a union territory and made up of two distinct areas: New Delhi and Old Delhi. Indeed, this part of the country is a melting pot of history and rapidly progressing modernisation. Many travel here for business, others visit as part of an India-wide tour. Whichever your reason for visiting, here are the best hotels to consider for your stay in Delhi.

The Roseate New Delhi
(5 stars)Designed by internationally renowned Khun Lek Bunnag, this unusual building was inspired by the five elements of Hindu philosophy (air, water, fire, earth and sky). Full of high tech gadgetry, everything in the bedrooms – like lighting and curtains – is controlled from an iPad. It has the longest swimming pool in town (108 metres long) and is surrounded by gardens, creating a cocoon of serenity. These include an area for growing the produce that’s served in the restaurants – the hotel also has cows and a mini fruit orchard. Guests can dine on Chinese food at Chi Ni or international cuisine at Kiyan.
