When you think of Delhi, you don’t automatically think of peace, serenity and calm, but that’s before you’ve set foot in Aman New Delhi.  Steps away yet seemingly a million miles from Delhi’s hustle and bustle, the Aman resort brings you the ultimate respite, an ideal hideout from which to explore the city’s diverse charms at your leisure. Centrally located, it is within easy reach of renowned sites such as Humanyun’s Tomb and Puranana Qila. Aman, or peace, is the very foundation of this fantastic resort. It is sprawled out over six acres of land. It’s rough and smooth Gangapur stone, intitricate jaali screens and elegant, spacious grounds imbue Aman with a sense of calm. As you walk in hand in hand, you will be lead through a subtly lit arrival lounge and reception area. Lofty ceilings and warm colours which add to the harmonious atmosphere of this luxurious resort will fill you with an immediate sense of calm and tranquility. We can’t think of a better way to start your honeymoon.

 

Aman Suites

You will find that the Aman experience is truly grand, with all of the 31 Aman Rooms and 8 Aman Suites featuring their very own private plunge pools. They are housed in a nine-storey structure, offering exceptionally impressive views over the city and terraces dappled with sunlight streaming through decorative jaali screens. 

Aman promises to spoil you with their Rooms and Suites which are inspired by North Indian aesthetic. You will find olive-hued khareda stone underfoot, handmade rugs in muted earthy tones and dark wooden panels accentuated by discreet lighting. In addition, a five-storey building overlooking a manicured courtyard houses 28 one-two- and three-bedroom Lodhi Suites. Half of these feature private pools.  Lodhi Suites are of diverse sizes, but each is complete with sitting/dining areas, writing desks, separate dressing areas, inviting bathrooms and kitchen. The living rooms have rich, wooden panelling. The dining and lounge areas can comfortably accommodate six people.

The Lodhi offers Mediterranean-inspired cuisine and is housed in a three-storey structure with floor-to-ceiling windows. The entrance level overlooks a tranquil reflecting pool. The upper floor boasts a silver-leaf ceiling, mirror finishes and leather floors. The Lodhi steps lead guests down to a delicious Tapas venue. A semi-private area is available for private gatherings, but the casual feel of the venue is its charm and the central service area with its lively ambiance should not be missed. Aman serves Indian and Thai specialities for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The Aman Lounge features a selection of local and European snacks throughout the day. You can also indulge yourself in an afternoon tea. The Naoki counter is a crucial part of the Aman and gives you a taste of French techniques and Japanese culinary artistery.
