Rahul's Post

A New Address on Delhi's Most Storied Street There's something almost poetic about MG Road in Delhi. It's one of those addresses that needs no qualification, no postcode clarification. Say "MG Road" and Delhiites know exactly where you mean – that leafy stretch in South Delhi where the city's old-world charm hasn't been entirely bulldozed by the relentless march of modernity. So when I was invited to the Radisson Hotel Delhi MG Road for their cake mixing ceremony – that delightfully anachronistic pre-Christmas ritual that hotels still observe with touching sincerity – I was curious. Not just about the cake mixing, which is always more spectacle than substance, but about what the Radisson brand would make of this iconic location. The Address Matters Let me address the elephant in the room first. Yes, this is Radisson's latest property in the capital. The hotel sits at a curious intersection – literally and metaphorically. It's on a road that still retains some of South Delhi's residential character, yet it's close enough to Gurgaon's corporate corridor and the airport to make sense for business travelers. This dual personality – part neighborhood hotel, part business address – defines the property. First Impressions Walking into the hotel, you're struck by how the designers have managed to pack considerable facilities into what is, by modern Delhi standards, a relatively compact footprint. One hundred rooms doesn't sound like much, but in a city where land is more precious than saffron, it's a respectable number. The rooms are divided into the usual hierarchy – Standard, Superior, and Suite – and while I didn't inspect each category with forensic attention, the Suites I glimpsed suggested that someone had thought carefully about what travelers actually want rather than what designers think looks impressive in photographs. The cake mixing ceremony itself was what these events always are – enthusiastic participation, liberal quantities of dried fruit and rum, much clinking of glasses. But ceremonies aside, the Radisson Hotel Delhi MG Road seems to understand what it needs to be.
