City hotel guide

New Delhi

New Delhi is India’s capital and part of the National Capital Territory of Delhi, where government institutions, planned avenues, commercial districts and Mughal-era monuments sit close together. Hotel choices tend to cluster around Connaught Place and Janpath for a central base; Paharganj and Karol Bagh for rail-station access and many mid-range or budget options; Aerocity for early or late flights; and South Delhi areas such as Hauz Khas or Mehrauli for access to heritage sights. From Indira Gandhi International Airport, the Airport Express Line links IGI Airport with Delhi Aerocity and New Delhi station.

Getting there & around

From the airport

Delhi’s main airport is Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). From T3/T2, the Airport Express Metro is usually the easiest first-arrival option: IGI Airport to New Delhi takes about 15-20 minutes, with Shivaji Stadium useful for Connaught Place/Janpath. From T1, use the Magenta Line and transfer, or take a taxi. Prepaid/app taxis to central Delhi usually take 35-75 minutes depending on traffic. Airport/city buses exist but are slower and less convenient with luggage, often 60-90+ minutes.

Around the city

Use Delhi Metro for most cross-city trips; it is extensive, signed in English/Hindi, and avoids road traffic. For several rides in a day, buy a Delhi Metro Tourist Card for 1 or 3 days; otherwise use QR tickets or a smart/NCMC card. Autos and app taxis are best for last-mile trips, but confirm the destination and pickup point. Avoid peak-road travel when possible, keep small luggage manageable on the metro, and check the last train time before late dinners.
