Taj City Centre Gurugram

The atrium here doesn't just soar, it makes a point of it. This is a large, polished luxury hotel in Gurugram, New Delhi's business-minded satellite city, where the competition is fierce and the lobbies are always trying to win. Taj does it with some style, from the contemporary rooms kept deliberately calm in tone to the Jiva spa, which goes in the opposite direction and pulls it off. The Michelin Guide has it among its Selected Hotels.
