1. Bungalow99
Sitting on a bougainvillea-filled lane, this new B&B is also the city’s most zen. Interior designer Pio Coffrant brings his signature cool, earthy aesthetics – handcrafted wooden benches, textiles and ceramics, for example – to the 12 rooms, each with fabulous linens and spacious en suites.
2. The Manor Delhi
Nestled among the grand mansions of South Delhi’s New Friends Colony, this iconic retreat has been a local landmark for over two decades. A recent restoration brought the two-storey, 1950s-era villa back to its former glory, refurbishing the mosaic tiles and brightening up the suites with contemporary furnishings and classic handloom textiles.
3. Roseate House, New Delhi
Minutes from Delhi’s airport and a short cab ride to major markets, the 3.2ha urban resort feels like a world apart. Bronze and copper pillars, domed ceilings, expansive gardens and serene water features pay homage to Delhi’s royal Mughal legacy. The 50-room property balances architectural grandeur with spacious minimalist quarters with muted cream and white marble and lightwood interiors.
