Caulfield, a well-known travel
writer, has done an excellent job
and there’s treasure on every page.
From the city’s more celebrated
iconic monuments to its forgotten
rituals and hidden secrets, there
really is something for everyone.
Also, to further reinforce the
concept and Andaz’s genuine
affection for the nation’s capital,
each room is dedicated to a
particular ‘reason’ from the book.
In fact, you’ll find it sprawled
open to the corresponding page
on your room’s coffee table and
echoed in the art that festoons
the walls of the room.
Needless to say, amenities are
all locally sourced—everything
from Ma Earth toiletries to the
complimentary non-alcoholic
drinks and snacks in your
minibar. You’ll find Haldiram
namkeen, Marie biscuits,
Paperboat’s aam panna, and No.
3 Clive Road tea. Your room’s
furniture and upholstery is also all
widely available across the city, so
if you like the rug in your room,
there’s a fair chance you’ll find it
on a shopping spree in the city.
For some downtime, head to
Juniper Bar, India’s first dedicated
gin bar. With 35 varieties of home-
infused gins to choose from, your
options are wide and cater to all
tastes. Pick of the crop is Delhi
Sapphire, a playful prod at the
rivalry between the two cities and
Bombay Sapphire, the gin brand.
Since customisation and
artisanal products are the marque
of the property, Andaz Spa too
features an Apothecary Blending
Bar. Here, you can custom-make
your scrubs and infused oils as
you prefer and require.
Located in Aerocity, an area that
handles the bulk of Delhi’s business
travellers, The Studios make
for the ideal space for creative
meetings and events. For larger
get-togethers, the oval ballroom can
host up to 1,500 guests indoors—
ideal for a big, fat Indian wedding.
In fact, there’s an Elephant Path
created for just such a purpose.
For business or pleasure there
are few properties that go quite so
far as Andaz Delhi to seduce you
into falling in love with the city. ▪Unlike traditional
conference rooms, Andaz
Studios have barrier-free,
co-working spaces.Top and trouser, Rohit
