Park Hotel, Delhi

As
Delhi was our point of entrance into India, we spent time at both ends of our
trip at the Park Hotel in the heart of New Delhi, close to the sights and the
train station. The photo at the left shows the exterior of the Park, while the
photo to the right shows the lobby. It was a comfortable hotel, with a great
breakfast buffet! The photo to the right shows the entrance/elevator area of the
lobby. Unfortunately, we did not get to spend a lot of time at the hotel; on our
first trip we arrived at 11:00 at night and left at 4:30 the next morning.
On the return trip we simply stopped in for breakfast and a quick snooze before
leaving for our final day of sightseeing.

Like
many Asian hotels, the rooms at the Park are small, but well furnished. The
walls are light colored with mahogany wood trim. The photo to the left shows the
and the desk/television area in front of the bed. Although small, there is
adequate room between the bed and the wall on the one side, and the bed and the
bathroom on the other. The views are not striking--it's Delhi, a fairly crowded
and congested area with little in the way of views. The photo to the right shows
the well-appointed marble bathroom, also framed in mahogany. Too bad we didn't
get to spend more time here.
