Pullman New Delhi Aerocity Review — Delhi’s Most Stylish Airport Hotel Makes a Compelling Case for Arriving Early

“There are airport hotels, and then there is Pullman New Delhi Aerocity. Where the category so often defaults to the utilitarian, this sharp, confident Accor property turns proximity to Indira Gandhi International into a genuine advantage — a hotel so well-executed that guests who planned a single-night transit regularly find themselves rearranging onward flights to stay a day longer.”

Overview — What makes Pullman New Delhi Aerocity unique?

Opened in 2013 as one of the anchor properties of Delhi’s Aerocity Hospitality District — a masterplanned precinct developed alongside the expansion of Indira Gandhi International Airport — Pullman New Delhi Aerocity holds the distinction of being Accor’s flagship Pullman property in India and one of the most recognised upscale business hotels in the subcontinent. The hotel’s architecture is confidently contemporary: a sweeping glass-and-steel tower rising above an elegantly landscaped podium, its interiors designed by Singapore’s Hirsch Bedner Associates in a palette of charcoal, warm timber, amber glass, and curated Indian craft elements that ground the international aesthetic firmly in the cultural context of the capital. From the soaring triple-height lobby — where commissioned artwork by leading Indian artists sets an immediate tone of considered refinement — to the rooftop bar with its panoramic views across the Delhi skyline, Pullman Aerocity operates at a register distinctly above what its airport-hotel categorisation might suggest.

The property’s 416 rooms and suites serve an exceptionally diverse clientele: inbound international executives on tightly scheduled Delhi visits, senior government and diplomatic delegations transiting through the capital, leisure travellers seeking a polished and well-located base from which to explore the monuments and markets of one of the world’s great historical cities, and event organisers drawn by the hotel’s 11 meeting rooms and grand ballroom — among the best-equipped MICE facilities in North India. What unites these different guest profiles is the consistent quality of the Pullman brand’s delivery: attentive without being overbearing, contemporary without sacrificing warmth, and always underpinned by the operational excellence that has made Accor’s upscale tier a trusted choice for discerning travellers across South and South-East Asia.

Rooms & suites — what to expect

Superior rooms & deluxe rooms

Pullman New Delhi Aerocity’s 356 superior and deluxe rooms are models of what the upscale contemporary hotel room should be: intelligently proportioned, thoughtfully furnished, and equipped with every tool the modern traveller actually requires. The design language is clean and assured — warm timber headboards, deep charcoal carpeting, amber accent lighting, and the Pullman signature Winking Owl artwork that marks the brand’s commitment to visual wit alongside functional rigour. Beds are wide, firm, and dressed in 300-thread-count Egyptian cotton. The Pullman “My Bed” programme ensures each guest’s rest preferences are honoured. Work desks are generously sized with multiple power points, USB charging, and strong-signal Wi-Fi rated for video conferencing — the details that matter most to the hotel’s core business audience. Bathrooms are marble-clad, well-lit, and stocked with Pullman’s signature bath amenities. Rooms on the upper floors — the hotel has 25 storeys — offer sweeping views of the Aerocity precinct and, on clear days, the distant silhouette of the Qutb Minar on the southern Delhi horizon.

Suites — Executive, Diplomatic & Presidential

The 60 suites at Pullman New Delhi Aerocity range from the Executive Suites — spacious two-room configurations with a separate work and meeting area, ideal for the senior business traveller who requires a private space for small team discussions — to the Diplomatic Suite and the Presidential Suite, which together represent the hotel’s most rarified hospitality offering. The Diplomatic Suite features a full private lounge, a dedicated boardroom seating eight, and a panoramic corner terrace. The Presidential Suite occupies the highest habitable floor, with a private lift lobby, a living room of notable grandeur, a master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and soaking tub, and views across the Delhi NCR that on a clear winter morning extend all the way to the Haryana plains. All suite guests receive access to the Executive Lounge on the 24th floor — a private floor lounge serving complimentary breakfast, evening cocktails, and all-day refreshments, with a personal concierge on call throughout the stay.

Amenities at a glance

Dining highlights

Dining at Pullman New Delhi Aerocity covers an impressive range of moods, cuisines, and occasions across three distinct venues that collectively rank among the best hotel food and beverage offerings in the Delhi NCR. Pluck, the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant on the ground floor, is a vibrant, high-ceilinged space serving an extensive global menu alongside a dedicated live kitchen counter — its weekend brunch, with a live DJ, free-flowing beverages, and a vast spread of Indian and international dishes, has become one of the most popular brunches in Aerocity and draws guests well beyond the hotel’s resident population. The wine, cocktail, and whisky selection at Pluck is exceptional for the category. Patiala Peg, the hotel’s dedicated Indian bar, is a warmly designed celebration of the subcontinent’s great drinking and snacking traditions — named for the legendary oversized measure of the Punjab, it serves an encyclopaedic whisky list alongside inventive bar food rooted in Indian street-food traditions. The undisputed showpiece, however, is 6° — Pullman’s rooftop restaurant and bar perched atop the 25-storey tower, commanding a 360-degree panorama of the Delhi NCR skyline. The menu here focuses on flame-grilled meats and bold international flavours, while the bar programme features original cocktails created specifically for the venue. Sundowner sessions at 6° — watching the lights of the Indira Gandhi International runways flicker on as dusk settles over the capital — are among the most cinematically satisfying experiences in Delhi’s hotel scene.
