Lutyens Bungalow

Details last checked · September 2026

Why we love it

"A 1937 family bungalow with mature gardens and a pool in Lutyens' Delhi, on Prithviraj Road, a stroll from Lodi Gardens and Safdarjung's Tomb"

Prithviraj Road is the old residential heart of New Delhi, the wide, tree-lined, quiet grid of the Lutyens bungalow zone, where most of the houses are embassies and ministers' residences and almost none take guests. This one has, as a family home, since 1937.

Where it is

Lodi Gardens and Safdarjung's Tomb are a stroll away. Khan Market, for coffee, books and dinner, is five minutes by car; India Gate about ten; Humayun's Tomb about fifteen. Connaught Place and the Red Fort are the far end of a morning in the car. The airport is around forty-five minutes.

The house

Sprawling mature gardens, a swimming pool, and rooms that each have their own entrance, with a private bathroom, wifi, a flat-screen TV, an electronic safe and a tea and coffee tray. Breakfast is a buffet with a wide range of options; home-made vegetarian meals are available on request, cooked in the family kitchen with seasonal vegetables from the garden. There is a living room with books, and lawns where children can run.

Getting there
In New Delhi. The nearest airport is Delhi (DEL).

Delhi · Boutique bed & breakfast

Delhi

A four-room bed and breakfast in a house in Safdarjung Enclave, styled, its owner Caroline says, on her grandmother's Anglo-Indian home in Calcutta. The rooms, Iris, Rose, Jasmine and Lily, take their names from the flower-named daughters and aunts of Anglo-Indian families; each is different, with its own bathroom and a balcony or terrace. The kitchen cooks home-style Anglo-Indian, Bengali and Delhi dishes, and the house is fully staffed through the day.
