The Lodhi, New Delhi, has been awarded One Michelin Key, an honour celebrating hotels that exemplify exceptional character, comfort, and service.
The newly launched Michelin Keys distinction recognises the world’s most outstanding hospitality experiences, evaluated through anonymous inspections across five key parameters: architecture and design, quality of service, personality and character, value, and contribution to the locality.
Set in the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi, adjacent to the historic Lodi Gardens, The Lodhi combines luxury with personalised service. The hotel offers some of the city’s largest rooms and suites, many with private plunge pools and balconies, along with one- to four-bedroom luxury apartments featuring kitchenettes, private pools, and courtyards for an exclusive long-stay experience.
A renowned culinary destination, The Lodhi features Elan for all-day international dining with alfresco seating, Perbacco for refined Italian cuisine, and Safari Lounge, inspired by wildlife, offering cigars and craft cocktails. It is also home to Indian Accent, the globally acclaimed restaurant known for its modern interpretation of Indian cuisine.
Wellness and recreation are central to The Lodhi experience, with an exclusive Hammam and spa offering over 30 bespoke treatments, personalised yoga programmes, a 50-meter outdoor lap pool, a state-of-the-art gym, spin and Pilates studios, and courts for squash, tennis, and pickleball.
Mr. Abhimanyu Singh Lodha, General Manager, The Lodhi, New Delhi, said,
“Receiving the One Michelin Key is both an honour and an inspiration. We remain committed to elevating every aspect of the guest experience — from world-class amenities to bespoke services — ensuring that each stay reflects the highest standards of contemporary Indian hospitality. This recognition reinforces our vision of The Lodhi as a distinguished address for those seeking excellence and refined luxury.”
The Lodhi has consistently been recognised among India’s finest hotels, with accolades such as Best Luxury Hotel in the Country at the Travel + Leisure India’s Best Awards and inclusion among India’s Top Hotels in the Condé Nast Traveler US Readers’ Choice Awards for five consecutive years. It is also the only hotel in India to have received the British Safety Council’s Sword of Honour for four years in a row (2019–2022).
The One Michelin Key distinction further cements The Lodhi’s reputation as a benchmark of contemporary Indian luxury — blending authenticity, sophistication, and a distinct sense of modern Indian identity.
