The Manor Hotel
Zen urban resort. Clean lines, natural materials, serene garden setting. Feels like a well-designed private home rather than a hotel lobby. Design-forward but grounded in Indian craftsmanship.
Book a Signature Room or Studio Suite on the ground floor for a private veranda opening directly onto the garden — worth the upgrade over upper-floor rooms.
Why It Matters
New Delhi's first design hotel and the former home of Indian Accent, India's most celebrated restaurant. Now houses INJA, billed as the world's first Indian-Japanese fusion fine dining restaurant — a genuine concept, not just a marketing claim. Only 14 rooms means it never feels crowded. Press coverage from the Telegraph, Condé Nast Traveller India, The Guardian, Sunday Times, Newsweek, and the New York Times.
Delhi's original boutique design hotel, built in the 1950s and set on nearly an acre of garden in the quiet, tree-lined South Delhi enclave of Friends Colony. After a full gut renovation completed in 2019 under an international design team, the two-storey property reopened with 14 rooms, three distinct dining venues, and a zen aesthetic built from terrazzo floors, natural stone, rich wood, and locally sourced fabrics. It's the kind of place where the city's chaos genuinely feels far away — even though Humayun's Tomb is just 4 km down the road. For years it was synonymous with Indian Accent, once ranked India's best restaurant; that chapter closed in 2017, but the food here is still very much the point.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Room
First-floor rooms with a sleek off-white palette and king beds dressed in fine linens. Garden views make these a step up from the smaller categories. At 360 sq ft there's actual room to spread out.
King · 33.45 sqm
Executive Room
Slightly larger than Standard, available on both floors. The one ground-floor unit is wheelchair-accessible — worth requesting at booking. Queen bed, bath tub or shower cubicle, all standard comforts. A solid middle-ground option.
Queen · 22.3 sqm
Manor Suite
The hotel's flagship suite at 585 sq ft, on the first floor. Separate master bedroom and living room — essentially a studio apartment. The private terrace overlooking manicured lawns is the standout feature, and the hotel will set it up for a private al fresco dinner. Two TVs (43-inch and 55-inch), both 4K.
King · 54.35 sqm
Signature Room
Ground-floor rooms that redefine the word 'luxury' at the property. The private veranda or outdoor sitting area opening directly onto the garden is the real draw. King bed, extra seating space, bath tub and shower cubicle.
King · 35.74 sqm
Standard Room
Compact first-floor rooms with impressively designed bedheads and a clean modern finish. Limited courtyard views. Good for a solo traveller or couple who don't need much floor space — the design does a lot of work in a tight footprint.
Queen · 19.7 sqm
Studio Suite
Spacious ground-floor suite done in neutral tones with modern furnishings. Airy and well-lit, with a private veranda for sitting outside. At 475 sq ft this is genuinely roomy — a proper suite feel without paying Manor Suite prices.
