Taj Mahal, New Delhi is our Luxury pick for the city. It suits travellers who want a five-star base with a pool, spa, gym, garden, terrace and restaurant listed, plus very strong service.
Skip it if you are watching costs. Guests flag high prices not only for rooms but also for dining and alcohol. If you plan to eat and drink in the hotel, your bill will rise quickly.

India Gate is about 1 km away by straight-line estimate, roughly 13 minutes on foot. Humayun's tomb is about 2.9 km, around 36 minutes, which is past the half-hour mark, so a taxi or public transport makes more sense. Jama Masjid is about 5.2 km, close to 65 minutes, and is clearly far.
