About Emerald
The Emerald at The Ashok
The Emerald is one of the dedicated event spaces at The Ashok, the iconic ITDC-owned five-star hotel situated in the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri, New Delhi. The Ashok itself is one of India's most historically significant hospitality landmarks, having hosted heads of state, international delegations, and landmark events since its establishment in 1956. The Emerald draws on this distinguished legacy, offering a formal yet welcoming setting for gatherings that demand both prestige and professional execution.
The space is designed to accommodate a range of group sizes and event formats, with interiors that reflect the understated elegance associated with The Ashok's broader aesthetic — clean lines, quality finishes, and an environment that lets organisers and their guests focus on the occasion itself. Natural and artificial lighting can be adjusted to suit the tone of the event, whether that calls for a bright, energised atmosphere for a business presentation or a warmer, more intimate setting for a celebratory dinner.
Events & Occasions
The Emerald is well suited to corporate and social events alike. On the corporate side, it regularly accommodates board meetings, training sessions, product presentations, seminars, and team conferences — formats that benefit from a polished, distraction-free environment and reliable support infrastructure. On the social side, the space lends itself to engagement ceremonies, cocktail receptions, birthday celebrations, and smaller wedding functions where guests expect refined surroundings without the scale of a grand ballroom.
The Ashok's in-house banqueting and catering teams service all events held within the property, bringing the hotel's established culinary standards to every occasion. Organisers can work with the events team to plan menus that range from formal plated dinners to curated buffet spreads and cocktail canapé service. Audiovisual equipment, stage arrangements, and customised décor setups can be coordinated through the venue's event management support, reducing the logistical burden on the host.
Location & Accessibility
Chanakyapuri is one of Delhi's most strategically located neighbourhoods, home to foreign embassies, government ministries, and major cultural institutions. The Ashok sits within this enclave and benefits from the area's excellent road connectivity to central Delhi, Connaught Place, and key transport corridors. Indira Gandhi International Airport is accessible via the NH-48 corridor, making it straightforward for outstation and international guests to reach the property. The hotel's grounds include parking facilities, which is a practical advantage for events where guests arrive by private vehicle — a common scenario in Chanakyapuri.
For delegates travelling from elsewhere in the city, the proximity to central government and commercial districts means that back-to-back meetings and event attendance in a single day are genuinely feasible. The address itself carries a degree of recognition that adds to the occasion — Chanakyapuri's association with diplomacy and institutional gravitas means that an event at The Ashok carries an implicit signal of seriousness and stature.
