Romantic boutique guesthouse
Word to the wise: Ask for a room with a view of Humayun's Tomb (four or six).

Situated in leafy New Delhi suburb Nizamuddin East, this chic guesthouse is a real find for those who value style and character over corporate slickness. Each of the six large rooms is furnished with objets d'art and has free Wi-Fi and a private terrace. There's also a good library and a roof terrace overlooking Humayun's Tomb, which is dramatically floodlit at night.
You can request to dine on the terrace and, should you wish to prepare your own meals, the kitchen is open for guest use - a nice, unusual touch. An airport/railway pick-up and drop-off service is also available.
