Where to Stay with Kids in Delhi
There is a myriad of options for accommodation in Delhi, ranging from small inns to luxurious hotels. There is a large guesthouse culture, essentially the equivalent of the international B & B. When booking, you can’ t go wrong with the popular hotel brands( and they are all here). If you opt for a guesthouse which is often more economical and can offer a more authentic Delhi experience, you should do your research thoroughly, and if at all possible, get someone on the ground to validate its conditions. Here are are recommendations in each of those categories:
The Imperial Hotel
Heralded as one of the best hotels in Delhi, the Imperial Hotel represents the glory of the British Raj in Delhi. The hotel was built in 1911 when Delhi was declared the capital of India. The grounds are sprawling, the atmosphere grand, and the service top-notch. Janpath, the neighborhood in which the hotel is located is also one of the most colorful parts of Delhi, with some of the best street shopping in the city.
27 Jorbagh
A typical Delhi guest house with an intimate courtyard and spacious rooms, 27 Jorbagh is located in one of the nicest neighborhoods of Delhi, near Lodhi Gardens. I can vouch for the quality of Jorbagh myself, having stayed there during my wedding in 2005!
