Fodor's Expert Review Taj Mahal

1 Mansingh Rd., Delhi, National Capital Territory, 110011, India Fodor's Choice

The Taj Mansingh, as it's locally known, is Delhi's premier social hotel, with nightly cocktail affairs, cultural events, and occasional society weddings drawing the glitterati. The lobby has Mughal-inspired decorative domes, a giant Oriental rug, and a general feeling of bustle, so you won't feel like you're off in a tourist enclave. Rooms have simple Western furnishings; those on the pool side overlook plenty of greenery. Prices vary greatly depending on season; listed price is inclusive of taxes.
