Garnet is one of the distinguished event spaces at The Connaught, New Delhi — IHCL SeleQtions, a heritage hotel that stands as one of the capital's most recognisable landmarks at Connaught Place. The venue carries the elegance that has long defined this address, offering a setting that balances colonial-era architectural character with the refined hospitality standards of the Taj Hotels family. The name itself evokes the richness and depth that the space delivers — an intimate yet polished environment where the details matter as much as the occasion.
The interiors are designed to create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication, making Garnet well suited to events where the setting is expected to make its own quiet statement. Whether it is the quality of the furnishings, the considered lighting, or the attentive service that IHCL SeleQtions properties are known for, the space is curated to feel purposeful rather than generic. Guests and planners who have worked at The Connaught will recognise that every event space here is managed with the same level of care that governs the wider hotel experience.
Garnet is suitable for a range of private and professional gatherings. Its scale and character make it a natural fit for corporate meetings, executive briefings, product launches, and social celebrations that call for an upscale but accessible venue. The space works equally well for smaller wedding-related functions — from intimate mehendi and engagement ceremonies to pre-wedding dinners — where couples want the prestige of a Connaught Place address without the scale of a grand ballroom.
For corporate clients, the hotel's position in the business district of Connaught Place adds operational convenience: proximity to corporate offices across central Delhi means shorter travel times for delegates, and the hotel's established infrastructure for events — including professional coordination and in-house catering — ensures a smooth experience. The Connaught, New Delhi is part of IHCL's SeleQtions portfolio, which positions it among hotels celebrated for their distinct identity and local character, giving events held here a sense of place that generic conference hotels rarely achieve.
Connaught Place is one of Delhi's most connected commercial and cultural hubs. The Connaught, New Delhi benefits from immediate proximity to Rajiv Chowk Metro Station — the busiest interchange on the Delhi Metro network — making the hotel easily reachable from across the city without reliance on road transport alone. The area is well served by taxis, auto-rickshaws, and app-based cabs, and the hotel's central location means that guests travelling from Delhi's major hotels, embassies, or government offices in Lutyens' Delhi face minimal transit times.
For outstation guests, Indira Gandhi International Airport is accessible via the Airport Express Metro Line with a change at New Delhi Station, keeping the journey manageable. The combination of heritage setting, IHCL's service standards, and one of Delhi's most strategic addresses makes Garnet at The Connaught a compelling choice for planners who need location, legacy, and logistics to align.
