A colonial-era address that has hosted Delhi's most consequential private gatherings since 1969, The Connaught, New Delhi - IHCL SeleQtions occupies a landmark position within the Connaught Place precinct — India's most recognised commercial and diplomatic hub. Part of the Taj Hotels' SeleQtions portfolio, the property blends heritage architecture with contemporary hospitality standards, making it one of the few boutique-scale luxury hotels in central Delhi where intimacy and institutional credibility coexist at the same address.
The property's event configuration is deliberately boutique, accommodating up to 25 guests — a capacity that suits high-protocol formats including board dinners, closed-door executive briefings, VIP hospitality evenings, and private celebrations where discretion is as valued as décor. The pre-function area and the hotel's characteristically proportioned interiors lend a formal yet approachable tone to any private dining or meeting setup. For planners sourcing intimate luxury event spaces in New Delhi, the Connaught Place address itself carries logistical weight: metro-accessible, equidistant from North and South Delhi's key business districts, and within minutes of the diplomatic enclave.
The facility serves two primary event profiles with distinct advantages. For corporate planners, the setting provides the rare combination of a heritage Delhi hotel atmosphere and modern IHCL service infrastructure — ideal for leadership offsites, senior client entertainment, and embassy-adjacent engagements where venue credibility matters. For social event hosts, the property supports private dining setups and intimate milestone celebrations with in-house catering drawing on Taj's established culinary standards. Planners should note that with a ceiling of 25 PAX, this location is not suited for large MICE conferences, product launches with trade audiences, or wedding functions requiring banquet-scale layouts — a practical boundary that ensures every booked event receives fully attentive, undiluted service.
Connectivity is a measurable operational asset here. The Rajiv Chowk metro station — one of Delhi's highest-footfall interchange points — sits within walking distance, simplifying delegate arrival management for planners who cannot rely on uniform parking logistics in central Delhi. Parking availability within the Connaught Place precinct operates on a managed public basis, which is a relevant planning consideration for events where guest arrivals by private vehicle need to be coordinated in advance with the hotel team. The address effectively eliminates intercity transit barriers for guests arriving from across the National Capital Region.
For event professionals evaluating this property through Spalba, the listing provides verified capacity parameters, space configurations, and direct enquiry pathways — removing the back-and-forth that typically delays RFP responses for boutique luxury properties. The Connaught, New Delhi - IHCL SeleQtions suits planners who are specifically seeking a high-trust, low-volume format where the IHCL service guarantee, the heritage address, and the Connaught Place postcode together form the event's implicit credential — before a single floral arrangement is placed or a menu is confirmed.
