Set in the leafy boulevards of New Delhi, The Claridges is one of the capital's most atmospheric places to stay in this price category. The low-rise building, dating from the mid 1900s, has a mildly art deco feel to it and an understated elegance, in keeping with the spacious bungalows that line the streets of downtown Delhi. Its rooms are a blend of classic and modern styles, all spacious and well presented. Tastefully refurbished, there is a decent health club, swimming pool, beauty parlour and choice of several restaurants.
