Shangri-La Eros New Delhi

Connaught Place's Asian luxury — where Hong Kong's hospitality culture meets Lutyens' Delhi

The Shangri-La Eros New Delhi opened in 2007 on Ashoka Road at the southern edge of Connaught Place — the closest luxury hotel to Delhi's commercial centre. The hotel brought the Shangri-La brand's Asian luxury sensibility — refined, understated, and focused on service — to a location that put it within walking distance of Connaught Place, Janpath, and the city's central business district.

The dining programme reflects the brand's Asian roots: Shang Palace (authentic Chinese cuisine, one of Delhi's most significant Chinese restaurants), Sorrento (Italian), and Mister Chai (the contemporary tea lounge concept). Shang Palace, in particular, established a standard for Chinese cuisine in Delhi that most competitors measure themselves against.

The Connaught Place adjacency gives the Shangri-La a centrality that most Delhi luxury hotels — located in Chanakyapuri or on peripheral roads — cannot match. The hotel is walking distance from Rajiv Chowk metro station, the centre of Delhi's public transport network.

“Shangri-La exists in the space between Asian refinement and Indian hospitality. In Delhi, both traditions are deep. We draw from both.”

What Defines Shangri-La Eros New Delhi

Shang Palace— The Chinese restaurant — authentic preparations from across China's culinary regions. Delhi's Chinese fine-dining benchmark.
Sorrento— Italian dining — the European option in the hotel's dining portfolio.
Mister Chai— The contemporary tea lounge — Indian chai culture reimagined in a luxury hotel context.
CHI The Spa— The Shangri-La spa concept — wellness influenced by Asian traditions.
Connaught Place Proximity— Walking distance to Delhi's commercial centre — a location advantage.

The Experience

The hotel's understated entrance on Ashoka Road opens to a lobby that is large, calm, and Asian in its design sensibility — less ornate than Indian luxury competitors, more refined in its minimalism. The service follows the Shangri-La model: gracious, anticipatory, and rooted in Asian hospitality traditions.
