The Roseate New Delhi

Full-length windows and domed ceilings pull the sky into each of the 50 rooms at this airport hotel that quietly refuses the category. Marble bathrooms with rain showers, a spa using natural products, and an outdoor pool handle the decompression, while two restaurants and a crimson cocktail bar with live piano handle everything else. The manicured gardens offer the one thing neither the plane nor the boardroom could: uncrowded silence.
