Stayed at this hotel for 3 weeks in September of 2007 for work. Room was not very large but sufficient for one person. The hotel staff was very nice and were very eagar to help. There are several restaurants in the hotel. Dublins is a Irish bar which turns into a club at night; a nice place to people watch but the food isn't terrific. Bukhara (which is one of the top restaurants in Asia) is a must for Indian cuisine. You can order their food up to your room or you can dine in. Dum Pukht is another restaurant which is you should dine in. The food was excellent but it is very bright inside the restaurant. I liked the Westview restaurant, you can pick out the food that you want and they will cook it right in front of you. The pool was nice, it wasn't very crowded and the water was warm at that time of year. I wouldn't recommend swimming at dusk because bats occasionally dive bomb the pool. I liked the hotel but it was isolated in the diplomatic enclave and you need a driver to take you around. It doesn't compare to a Ritz Carlton or a Four Seasons but it's one of the nicest hotels in India.

I stayed in this hotel from 1/13 to 1/22/08. I had stayed in the adjoining Sheraton Tower last year but I was not too impressed. This time I was in the main Maurya hotel. I had booked the room on the internet. Booking and checkin were very smooth. I was lead to a very spacious suite which was well decorated and clean. I had put in a request for a quiet room and it seems that they had payed attention to this request. Room was turned over twice a day. Bathroom/showers and closet areas were excellent. Breakfast buffet was included in the price [$450] and it was excellent with a great Indian/Western selection. I have only 2 minor quibbles. 1] The breakfat area got quite crowded and chaotic on occasion. 2] Some construction noises were occasionally heard. Overall I had an acceptable experience. The price is steep but that is standard for top hotels in Delhi.

First off, the Starwoods in India make a Platinum guest actually feel appreciated. I wish the US hotels could be as kind.

We arrived late from a long set of international flights originating in the US and were quickly ushured to the Towers lobby for a more relaxed check in. Mints and candies were available on the desk and the Rajput unifoirmed doormen took care of our bags.

The towers rooms are newly decorated with dark wood accents, an incredible curved mosaic shower, flat panel TVs, a touchscreen panel that controlled the lighting, DND, TV systems. There are bedside sleep aides includes earplugs, eye masks, lavender pillow spray.

The hotel features two restaurants featured in the Thousand Things to Do Before You Die book. We tried Dum Puhkt and it was great but we were so sleepy we may not have fully appreciated it.

We had a room in the "new" wing (but not the top level), and the rooms were nicely decked out but a little small. A very short overnight stay so didn't get to enjoy most of the hotel's facilities.

We did go back for dinner at Bukhara, and it was one of the best Indian meals we have ever had anywhere in the world.
