What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This strikingly modern tower isn’t about to be mistaken for a Mughal monument, but as a contemporary luxury hotel, it certainly doesn’t shy away from monumental effects.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Sector 44's corporate headquarters flank the hotel, and Millennium City Centre metro station sits just outside.
The rooms
Bright, sunlit rooms favor a quietly restrained palette, looking out across the bustling commercial skyline.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Wooden slatted cabanas line the outdoor lap pool on an elevated courtyard terrace, joined by an integrated Jacuzzi.
The spa
Twin treatment suites host herbal body rituals and aromatherapy sessions alongside private relaxation lounges and saunas.
The gym
Treadmills and weight equipment face the city skyline through floor-to-ceiling glass in the 24-hour fitness centre.
Restaurant
Baristaire
Artisanal coffees and patisserie fill display counters beside parquet floors and picture windows opening toward the terrace.
At the table
Culina 44 serves all-day global menus beneath soaring glass walls. At Tease, drinks flow across an illuminated marble bar.
How it began
WOW Architects reinterpreted traditional palace layouts, arranging modern glass pavilions around courtyards to mark Taj's hundredth Indian property.
