At our exclusive rooftop, as the sun begins to set, discover a 360° panoramic view that is unique to Delhi, with the Red Fort, Jama Masjid, and historic temples/gurudwaras on 4 sides.

This is an unforgettable cultural immersion in the heart of Old Delhi at its most beautiful hour. With a cup of tea or coffee in hand, we’ll see you to fly some kites!
