Haveli Dharampura - Unesco Awarded Boutique Heritage Hotel

The most special of places! Every aspect is a joy. Learning to fly a kite like they only do in Delhi while pigeons are being trained and called to in right flocks on the rooftops is something magical. The tasting menu is delicious and there is so much of it! Come to dinner very hungry! The flavor if each dish is a journey through history, each with its own story and unique expansion of sensory horizon. A hidden jewel, rocked away where you could never imagine. Our room is beautiful too .. this property cannot be explained in a simple review like this. It needs a blog post to even begin. Just book .. there is so much more

One of my favorite magic places in the world ✨♥️ Like an Indian fairytale coming to life. You can feel the enchanting vibes of ancient times. The staff felt like family from the very beginning… I envy every person who still has this experience ahead of them. And make sure you fly kites on the roof terrace in the early evening, guys! Last but not least: The food is delicious

Dharampura Haveli is an oasis amongst the hustle and bustle of Old Delhi . The rooms are not huge but very comfortable. Food in the restaurant is outstanding! Service is impeccable. I love the work that has been put into restoring this beautiful three hundred year old home .

We chose this hotel for its character and were not disappointed. A few days before arrival, we met a couple that had also been here and loved it. They warned us the hotel was approached via an alleyway, so don't expect to get a taxi to the door! The hotel carried our luggage on their hand cart from taxi to the door. Our room was large, very comfortable and perfect. Before dinner we had our beers on the upper terrace and enjoyed the evening kite flying, which guests are encouraged to try. For dinner we chose the 'Chef's tasting menu'. After a week of eating Indian food elsewhere that wasn't as good as I cook myself, I wasn't expecting too much. The very first bite of the first item we tasted, we both agreed had us in heaven. (spinach leaf, fried in gram flour batter, with a trio of chutneys) The rest of many courses which included kanji drink, equally 'hit the spot'. Even if you don't stay the night, I would recommend that you come here for the food. Oh how I wish I could reproduce this menu, or any item from it! A pair of dancers appeared on the floor above during the meal. The dancing could be watched from the dining area in the courtyard, or the floors above. The hotel has the highly laudable policy of having a 'tip box' in the lobby for tips to be shared. As the courtyard is open air, the air quality in Delhi could be an issue. Our stay was fine, but the day we left the air was poor in the city.

The haveli is beautifully restored, and the staff is very helpful. You can ask them anything about the surrounding areas and they’ll lead you to the best places for shopping, clubbing, etc. Even though we ate most of our meals outside because of our packed schedules, we did enjoy our breakfasts at Lakhori. They have a wide variety and everything is fresh and delicious.

The rooms were spacious and comfy, with modern bathrooms. The location is perfect for exploring Old Delhi. Since we mainly visited Delhi to shop for my brother’s wedding it was a relief to know that Chandi Chowk is just a walk away. We enjoyed our shopping sprees and more so our stay at this gorgeous place.
