After three trips to India lately, I find the Claridges Hotel to be just fine and dandy. I like the location next to the Lodi Gardens, not too far from Cannaought and reasonably quiet (well at least for Delhi). Food options are plentiful and the hotel's bar is fairly chic. Service has always been first rate. Afternoon tea on the grounds is very civilized. Overall, a nice place to say at somewhat lower rates than say the Oberoi or Imperial.
