The Connaught
The Connaught is a hotel in Chanakya Puri Tehsil, one of the calmer neighborhoods of New Delhi, close to several embassies and government buildings. The building has a formal entrance, large windows, and rooms that follow the style typical of its era.

The Connaught sits in Chanakyapuri, a neighborhood known for its embassies and government residences. Walking through the area, visitors notice wide tree-lined roads and a pace of daily life that feels different from the busier parts of New Delhi.
The hotel sits in Chanakyapuri, a neighborhood where the streets are wide and easy to navigate on foot. From here, many key sites across the city can be reached without much difficulty, making it a practical base for getting around New Delhi.
The hotel takes its name from Connaught Place, the well-known circular plaza at the center of New Delhi, which was itself named after a member of the British royal family.
