Greetings.... I would like to know of any good Hotels in New Delhi near the Embassy. I went online and saw some very nice hotels. One of the Hotels were 4.94km the name is Connaught. I will be attending my fiance' interview along with our soon to be 11 month old son.

By the time we have the interview, he will be one. I do plan on sightseeing, and eating some good food. :dance: Is there anyone out here that could shed some light on your experiences at the Hotels? Prices, neatness, hospitality. Enjoy the rest of your day :P

Hmmm. Connaught Place is about 5km from Embassy row - this is an entire market area laid out in concentric circles that encompasses many international branded stores and restaurants. I'm sure there is at least a few hotels there with the name "Connaught" somehow in the mix...

There are no hotels truly near the embassy area as that area is embassy after embassy after embassy. The Meridien isn't too far off [in CP] but it will be spendy - 16k rupees/night [~$300] is what their website is currently showing for mid-week in February. You would have no question of cleanliness or comfort there - however you will be paying for it.

I would avoid Paharganj like the plague with an 11 month old. It's fun and adventurous for the backpack traveler but not with a baby - in general, there will be low cost hotels with nice looking websites - but keep in mind stock photos are easy to buy and put on a website!

The only exception, and it's not really an exception because I don't think it is really is in the confines of Paharganj, would be the Ginger Hotel. This chain of hotels is budget friendly, clean, and run by Tata [i think]. My husband stayed in the one by the train station for a night and liked it except for the noise - but in Delhi, other than super high end hotels - there will be noise.

For more family oriented and still budget minded there are hotels in the Karol Bagh. I've stayed in that area on one trip and our hotel was just about full up with Indian families. Nothing too special but clean with a nice staff. Definitely budget but not scary-budget. You'd need to plan for a radio-cab to get you to the embassy but this isn't hard.

For a step up, you may want to look in South Delhi - Greater Kailash areas, they have some smaller but nicer hotels. Again, I'd go with a radio-cab to get to the embassy.

I really thank you for that. I am kinda nervous, and I really don't want to take my baby, but he is up to date with his shots. I need to do more research. Thanks for your assistance. (F)
