Some people are either obsessed with India or dislike it and never want to go back. But here in Posh Voyage, we’re obsessed with everything Indian, specially this chic new hotel in New Delhi.

There is something to be said about staying in the hotels showcasing the grandeur and opulence of the old India. However, none of the classic hotels seem to beat my new discovery: The Lodhi.

Arriving to the peaceful Lodhi hotel (formerly Aman New Delhi) is like standing in the eye of a hurricane: calm, beautiful and exciting. This will be your own little oasis while one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities runs without a break.

The six-acre property features a very different design from what you expect. The modern Indian architecture features walls of honed ivory-colored stone similar to the ones of the Taj Mahal. Inside, hip Indian decor from the brilliant designer Kerry Hill dresses the hotel elegantly.

The service from the moment you walk in is subtle and understated. You will be taken to your suite without having to wait around in the lobby and waste any time. Extremely important if you are coming from a long-haul flight! The delicious snacks, warm tea and a butler waiting for your command will basically make you feel like a Maharaja arriving to your own modern palace.

All 85-guestrooms are gigantic. Even the Standard Room is bigger than your standard apartment. However, the best part is that every room has a heated plunge pool.

The hotel also has every holistic facility you can imagine: Spa, Gym, Pilates studio, Tennis and Squash courts. So regardless if it’s a jammed pack business trip or a touristy vacay, the Lodhi will rejuvenate your body and mind.
