Trident, Gurgaon

Reflection pools run the length of the grounds, spaced with the kind of precision that makes you wonder if someone measured the distance between deck chairs. This business hotel in Gurgaon takes a Zen approach to luxury, trading flash for symmetry and calm, across seven acres of manicured gardens and arched walkways. Book a pool-view room if you can, where floor-to-ceiling windows face the water and the city's chaos feels entirely theoretical.
