Oberoi Maidens

Frommer's Review

This Georgian gem is a little out of the center of Delhi, but it has more character and charm than competitors charging twice its tariff. Delhi's oldest hotel, it retains much of its grand ambience, hinting at what it might have been like when Lutyens stayed here while supervising the development of the Raj Bhavan. Stained-glass windows, thick columns, stately arches, and deep corridors open to huge rooms on one side and small sunlit balconies on the other, all recalling a bygone style. Accommodations have been recently renovated and are carpeted, have high ceilings, and are done in elegant textiles. Room no. 105 is a particularly good option, with a second, smaller bedroom, and a large bathroom. It receives plenty of natural light, whereas some units have small windows. Lovely grounds, with plenty of established trees and bushes, and a period kidney-shaped pool, add further serenity, only disrupted when parties and weddings are hosted here (it's an understandably popular venue for wealthy families).
