Advice needed for stopover in DEL

Hi everybody

As I said in a previous post on the way back from Kathmandu me and my wife will stop in DEL from 5PM to 10AM before heading to Italy.

We got the Indian Visa now, and I’m about to book an hotel.

Our idea is to go trough immigration, check-in at Radisson airport, go in city center for a quick evening walk, have a nice dinner, back to Radisson

Questions:

1) Google maps shows three (!) Radisson near the airport and a fourth nearby. Is it an address mistake? Pls see http://tinyurl.com/38gthps (google map link made shorter)
2) How will it take landing/customs/CheckinRadisson/taxi to center? I’m landing at 5PM and I’m wondering whether I will arrive in centre for my short walk too late
3) I will probably have a walk in the Connaught Place area, which I suppose is safer than Old Delhi. Suggestions for a good restaurant nearby. Better area to have a short evening walk + dinner?
4) Taxi back to Radisson: are they metered? We have been to Delhi four or five times but last time was almost ten years ago..

Thanks for your advice
