Situated in the heart of New Delhi near Connaught Place, Shangri-La Eros Hotel combines contemporary luxury with classic Delhi hospitality. The hotel's Shang Palace for Cantonese cuisine and The Sattvam for Indian vegetarian cuisine are both excellent. Its central location makes it ideal for business travelers and those wanting easy access to monuments, shopping, and government buildings.
The Shangri-La Eros Hotel New Delhi stands on Ashoka Road in central New Delhi, two blocks from Connaught Place and a short walk from Patel Chowk and Janpath Metro stations on the Yellow Line. The positioning makes it among the most transit-accessible luxury hotels in the capital, within 1.5 km of the Central Secretariat, Parliament House, and Rajiv Chowk. India Gate is approximately 3 km to the south-east.
Originally constructed as the Eros Hotel — a mid-century icon in New Delhi — the property was acquired by the Shangri-La group and thoroughly renovated. The building retains its imposing limestone facade while the interior has been redesigned in the Shangri-La idiom: Asian-inflected contemporary décor with warm woods, soft fabrics, and curated artworks throughout the public spaces. The 356 rooms span Deluxe and Premier categories across the main tower, supplemented by one- and two-bedroom suite configurations.
Rooms are generous by central Delhi standards, with Deluxe rooms from 40 square metres. Upper-floor Premier rooms offer views toward Parliament House and the Central Vista; lower floors face the hotel's internal courtyard. All rooms include the Shangri-La Sweet Dreams bed programme, marble bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs, and in-room tea and coffee facilities.
Shang Palace is the hotel's fine-dining flagship, serving classic Cantonese cuisine in a dramatically lacquered interior. Weekend dim sum sessions at Shang Palace are among the most popular in Delhi. The Sattvam offers pure vegetarian Indian cuisine across North and South Indian traditions. Taipan provides a more informal Asian menu, and the Lobby Lounge handles all-day café dining and afternoon tea. The S Bar is among the livelier hotel cocktail venues in this part of the capital.
The Chi Spa, a signature across Shangri-La properties, draws on Asian and Himalayan wellness traditions with Himalayan hot stone therapy, Thai massage, and contemporary beauty treatments. A heated indoor pool, steam, and sauna facilities are incorporated. A separate outdoor pool on the upper level provides open-air swimming, and a fully equipped fitness centre completes the wellness amenities.
