Ahuja Residency

Ahuja Residency Review

This little-known guest house is a jewel, Delhi's only combination of style and affordability. It's in a converted house in a quiet, leafy, upper-class neighborhood, so it's a great way to get a feel for residential life. Rooms are simple but cozy, with bright-color fabrics, blond-wood furniture, gleaming floors, and large windows. Bathrooms have showers only. The restaurant is delightful, with terra-cotta floors and yellow-and-orange plaid fabrics and crockery; and the rooftop terrace, with flowering plants and wrought-iron furniture, is unbeatable on a winter day. Reserve early, and if all rooms are booked, ask about the sister facility in Defence Colony. (A third property for overflow, Golf Apartments, trails the main house and Defence Colony in atmosphere, but is slightly cheaper.)
