Delhi, North & Central India, India

Amazing panoramic views over New Delhi unfold from the upper floors of the Shangri La’s Eros, an international-grade five-star occupying a floodlit skyscraper at the heart of the historic government district, close to the capital’s principal landmark, India Gate. The lobby’s a dazzling expanse of polished marble and crystal chandeliers, and there’s a wide choice of multi-cuisine restaurants, a large curvi-form pool in the garden, in-house art gallery and top-notch spa to help ease the jet lag.
