The greener, wealthier south — tree-lined colonies, the trendy bars and boutiques of Hauz Khas village around its medieval ruins and lake, and easy reach of Qutub Minar and the tombs. Calmer, cooler and more comfortable than the centre, with the city's best café and nightlife scene; the base for travellers who want green streets and good living.

On your doorstep
What you’re living next to if you stay here.
- 4.Qutub Minar — The soaring 73-metre victory tower of fluted red sandstone, begun in 1193, is the tallest brick minaret in the world and a UNESCO site — the centrepiece of a beautiful complex of ruined mosques, tombs and the mysterious rust-free Iron Pillar. Elegant, ancient and set in green lawns; one of Delhi's most impressive and photogenic monuments.
- 7.The Lotus Temple — A serene, modern Bahá'í house of worship shaped like a vast half-open white lotus flower — an architectural marvel of 27 marble petals, open to people of every faith for silent contemplation. Beautiful inside and out and set in calm gardens; expect a queue, and enjoy the rare quiet at the heart of the roaring city.
- 11.Hauz Khas village — A hip, buzzing enclave in the south where medieval ruins meet modern Delhi — the tombs and madrasa of a 13th-century reservoir, backed by a warren of rooftop bars, boutiques, galleries and restaurants overlooking a deer-park lake. Historic by day, lively by night; the coolest spot to eat, drink and see young, creative Delhi at play.
