Review of Pride Plaza Hotel Aerocity in Delhi, India.

Located in Aerocity, Pride Plaza offers spacious and luxurious rooms with an India-inspired decor.

Pride Plaza Aerocity – Personality, vibrancy, and charm; much nicer than many larger internationally-known hotels.

Despite the simple exterior, this hotel is significantly more likable than most mega properties around Aerocity, a purpose-built suburb of hotels and malls only minutes from the airport. There is plenty of color and class, and the staff is more personable because it’s considerably smaller than neighboring rivals. All rooms are spacious and feature uncommon Indian-style décor and photos, and some also feature barbecues on private porches. Views are limited, but those transiting overnight probably won’t mind. The Pride Plaza is very convenient to the malls and cafés in the center of Aerocity and handy to the metro station for express services to downtown.

Open-plan kitchen. • Oriental Spice – Fine dining, with an eclectic menu featuring cuisine from all over Asia. Attentive staff, and dinner only. • Mr. Confectioner – More about pastries than sweets. Also, tea/coffee and light meals, e.g. wraps and sandwiches. Open 24 hours. • Stallion – Lounge bar for cocktails, imported spirits, and light meals. Open till early hours.
  • Breakfast: Normally not included, but this depends on how the room was booked.
  • Room Service: Available 24/7.

Pride Plaza Aerocity – Rooms

  • Room Types: Deluxe Rooms • Superior Rooms • Premium Rooms • List of all Rooms
  • Smoking Rooms: Smoking may be allowed in some rooms; check when booking. More strict in public areas.
  • Best Room: Premium Rooms are slightly larger and considerably more elegant.
  • For Families: Superior Rooms are large enough for 2 double beds. Or book adjoining rooms with connecting doors.

Pride Plaza 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 600m to the south. Take a short cut through the mall area.
  • 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.
