Review of Andaz Delhi Aerocity - A Concept By Hyatt in Delhi, India.

A great mall, restaurants, bars, and the airport are close to Andaz Aerocity, a terrific luxury hotel in Aerocity.

Andaz Aerocity – Terrific facilities, just minutes from the Delhi airport.

Perfect for those transiting or wanting to avoid the hassles of staying in the city center, the Andaz takes up most of a block within a dedicated area of top-end hotels and malls only minutes by car from the airport. Some may say the hotel lacks charm, with its minimalist design and funky décor, but it is certainly spacious and contemporary. Unlike nearby rivals, many rooms face inwards, overlooking the gardens and pool rather than the road and airport. Some rooms, however, are actively promoted as having a ‘Runway View’, and all windows throughout the hotel are well soundproofed.

Andaz Aerocity – The Location

This hotel is separate to the Andaz Residences around the block.

Address: In Aerocity, a modern suburb with nothing but hotels and tourist facilities; in fact, no-one lives there. About 10 minutes (3.5 km) by car/taxi from the international and domestic terminals.
Nearest Metro: Aerocity metro station is 800m away.
Area: More tranquil, tidy, and secure, and far less hassle than staying anywhere in the city center. Plenty of facilities within walking distance.
How to Get There: Transfers to and/or from the airport are included in the rates. Otherwise, get a taxi. See Local Transport below for information about the Delhi Metro.
Handy to: Airport.

Andaz Aerocity – The Basics

Guests: The hotel caters overwhelmingly for those needing proximity to the airport. Also a major venue for weddings and conferences.
Views: Better views than most neighboring hotels because it’s set back from the roads and many rooms face inwards, i.e. overlooking the gardens, lawns, and pool. Some do face the runway but are sheltered by soundproofed windows.
Private Pools/Jacuzzis: None, perhaps a little surprisingly.
Extras: One-way transfers to the airport for all rooms; 2-way transfers for guests staying at the suites. Free non-alcoholic contents of minibar.
How to Book: Booking.com will have the best rates.

Andaz Aerocity – Local Transport

Walking: Plenty of facilities within the suburb of Aerocity, which is about 1km by 400m in area. The special zone offers things rarely (if ever) found elsewhere in Delhi: e.g. shady footpaths, minimal traffic, and no hassles.
Public Transport: The Delhi Metro is quick, reliable, and excellent value. An express service, with only 4 stops, links Aerocity with the New Delhi station, attached to the main railway terminal. The Aerocity metro station is about 800m down the main road from the hotel.
Taxis & Rickshaws: Taxis are white, poorly-signed, and even harder to find in Aerocity than elsewhere in Delhi. Best arranged through the hotel. None will use a meter and all are outrageously overpriced, so many locals use Uber and Ola. Oddly, there are no auto-rickshaws in Aerocity.

Andaz Aerocity – What’s Nearby?

Best Nearby Restaurants & Bars

The following 3 are located close to each other and can be visited together, either by metro or by renting a car for the day.

Jama Masjid – The largest mosque in India, built in the 17th century by Shah Jahan, the same Mughal Emperor who built the Taj Mahal. Dress conservatively, keep a bag handy to carry shoes, and beware of beggars and solicitors. 300-Rupee charge per camera, including phones with cameras. Not worth the money to climb up the minaret. Many souvenir, handicraft, and food stalls around. Arrive early in the morning, and avoid Fridays. Easy access to Gate 2 using the metro (Jama Masjid station). (20 km).
Red Fort – Massive 17th-century red sandstone fort. A Mughal residence for 2 centuries, it now houses several museums (Mumtaz Mahal, Khas Mahal, Rang Mahal, and others), and is especially popular for its evening sound and light shows. Open from 9:30 am till 4:30 pm. Closed Mondays. (25 km).
