The Oberoi, New Delhi opened in 1965 on Dr Zakir Hussain Marg and reopened in January 2018 after a complete renovation. It looks across the Delhi Golf Club to Humayun's Tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is close to Lodhi Gardens, Khan Market, Connaught Place and the embassy district. Rooms run from Deluxe to Premier Plus, and the suites from the Deluxe Suite up to the Kohinoor Suite. Dining begins at 360°, which serves international and Indian food from a buffet and à la carte, and continues at Dhilli, a modern Indian restaurant mentored by Vineet Bhatia, and Baoshuan, a Chinese and dim sum restaurant mentored by Andrew Wong, with The Oberoi Patisserie for cakes. Cirrus 9 is the open-air bar with views over the city, the golf course and the tomb, and there is also The Club Bar and Cigar Lounge. Wellness sits under Asmi by Oberoi, with temperature-controlled indoor and outdoor pools and a fitness centre with a personal trainer on duty around the clock for resident guests. Every room and suite has air purification. Indira Gandhi International Airport is roughly half an hour's drive away.
