The Lalit New Delhi

True to its name Grand Intercontinental is a highly satisfactory and stylish hotel built in the vicinity of the national capital of Delhi. I had booked a non smoking suite which was adequately decked with all the modern amenities. It is conveniently located in the heart of the city close to Cannaught Place which is the industrial and shopping center of the city. Although the hotel was in a little bit of mess due to some of the renovations and yet the services were very well organized and took god care of us.

There isn’t anything strikingly different about the place yes it surely is a beneficial site for those on a business expedition. The rooms were front facing with a pleasing view and have all the amenities you would look forward to while staying in a five star. Hopefully the place would look even better once the refurbishing work reaches its end, but still the place is surely giving a shot when considering all the options of accommodation in the city.

We stayed 3 days in this posh 4 star hotel. Great service, great rooms, Plasma Tv's, wireless internet connection and other facilities!!! Top hotel

Unique Quality: Great Pool. The best part is the flower Garland reception that you receive upon arrival.

Well where can I start about this place! Yes, I did actually stay here and it was such a contrast to all the other places that I'd stayed in in India. The reason I came here was for two main reasons. Firstly, it was a treat for myself for surviving 4 months in India (!) and that it was the first 5 star hotel I've ever stayed in and secondly it was close to Connaught Place where I wanted to do some shopping before heading back home.

The hotel itself has everything you'd expect from a 5 star hotel from excellent service to excellent ammenities that are just too numerous to mention here so check out their website below. My comtempory newly decorated room was spacious and immaculately clean. It had the biggest and comfiest bed I've ever had the pleasure to sleep in, a huge widescreen LCD TV and DVD player/recorder, lights everywhere, desk, swivel chair, 2 phones, 2 bedside tables with lamps, floor lamp, armchair and foot stall, mini-bar fridge, safe, wardrobe with ironing board and iron. The bathroom was again modern with modern WC and sink, bath with a shower and a separate walk-in shower with a huge ceiling shower that was the best I've ever experienced. Fantastic place and good value.

This is a nice enough 5 star hotel. Seems old, but maintained well.

Nice lobby, great breakfast, good food at the coffee shop.

Rooms were good too. Some kinks, but ok.

A 28-story hotel in four towers -- with a four-story atrium -- the Intercontinental has apparently undergone several changes of ownership. An auto-rickshaw driver recognized it only when he stopped a passerby and was told it was "the Hilton."

It probably was, once, but it's now part of the Intercontinental chain.

Rooms are large and well appointed. The several restaurants (the website says seven; six were open during our December 2004 visit) serve good meals reasonably priced. The lobby bar features Indian bands playing western rock music at levels that make conversation impossible.

Unique Quality: Pool; small business center with high-speed computer access; fitness center; many shops on two mezzanine levels with souvenirs and more ambitious items at competitive prices.

Expedia, Orbitz, and all the many Indian reservations sites I searched, gave US$170 a night as their lowest price. I reserved two rooms at US$90 each through Intercontinental's own site.

Directions: About a five-minute walk from Connaught Place.
