Amarya Haveli

Frommer's Review

Alexandre Lieury and Mathieu Chanard are the visionary young Frenchmen behind two delightful Delhi guesthouses, resetting the bar for affordable comfort in a city that has long been the preserve of five-star anonymity and backpacker drudgery. Here are exclusive lodgings that combine eye-catching style with useful amenities. Besides offering boutique-style luxury and a great sense of intimacy, these low-key glamour pads are spaces where guests can really ease into a gentler, more refined take on this chaotic, bustling city. Amarya Haveli is in Hauz Khas and has six beautifully decorated en-suite bedrooms, each inspired by a different region of India; these spaces are refreshing and original, with fabulous textures, striking colors, smart finishes, and luxurious fabrics, all tied together in a timeless integration of traditional and contemporary. Come evening, guests gather on the rooftop terrace under a pink and orange canopy or hang out in the beautiful lounge with its rugs, antique furniture, objets d'art, fresh flowers, and bright silken cushions. The Amarya properties are a real find in a city that is often quite standoffish: Sublime, sexy, and characterful, they're artful enough to be destinations in themselves. The only potential drawback is that your hosts are not native Delhiites, but that may just mean that they're the perfect eyes through which to encounter the city for the first time.
