There are lovely little sitting areas.
My room, in the garden area.is a wonderful jewel, an oasis of peace, and a place I feel completely at home. It is located in a "residential" area in South Delhi.
From their website:
The structure was built in 1947 in the pre-independence days, when India was under the British Raj. The building has similar architecture to Connaught Place (Famous Delhi centre point) & Lutyen’s Delhi (Lutyens' Delhi is an area in Delhi, named after the leading British architect Edwin Lutyens, who was responsible for much of the architectural design and building when India was part of the British Empire).
This British era Mansion which was named “Peeli Kothi” or Yellow Mansion by the locals because of its light yellow color was the only storied structure across miles of jungle around. The owners built this Mansion as their residence initially and converted it to a Guest House in 1973 and gave it their name - “Kabli”. Now it is famously known as Hotel Kabli. Since then, Kabli Hotel has opened its doors to various travelers from across the globe - backpackers from Switzerland, students from Africa, motored caravans from Germany, travelers from Middle East, film crews from Mumbai, medical patients from Afghanistan and Iraq…..we have seen it all! .
