Haveli Dharampura

Delhi, India
Luxury hotel banner
Transporting guests back in time, this beautifully restored 200-year-old, Mughal-era mansion is tucked down labyrinthine lanes in the heart of Old Delhi.

It’s the result of an impressive conservation project, restoring its ornate, traditional architecture and serene, central courtyard. Rooms are thoughtfully curated to reflect traditional Mughal-era aesthetics with high ceilings, intricate wood carvings, strained-glass windows, traditional furniture and spacious bathrooms.

You’ll be immersed in old-world charm with rooftop views across the city, classical dance performances and authentic Indian cuisine. The hotel is a one-of-a-kind fusion of heritage, warmth, culture and food all set centrally within the vibrant chaos of Old Delhi. Staying here offers a living slice of history that captures the spirit of the city.

What we love

    • Don’t miss watching local children flying kites from the rooftops as you sip on a roof terrace sundowner and revel in the birds-eye views over the city.
    • The hotel comes alive with its traditional evening entertainment, from classical music to Kathak dance performances, as it would have done nightly throughout the centuries.
    • The on-site restaurant, Lakhori, serves a tantalising range of Indian food from playful chaat bites and inventive kebabs to luxurious mains and quirky deserts, blending heritage flavours with creative presentation.

Accessing the hotel involves a short walk, through bustling and narrow lanes, with no direct car access.

Rooms here are not as opulent, spacious or quiet as those in luxury hotels on the outer edges of the city as it is a heritage building tucked within the heart of the old city.

As this haveli sits so centrally, you can hear street noise from some rooms, be sure to request an upper-floor, courtyard-facing room if this will bother you.

Being a heritage property, there is no pool, fitness centre or spa available on-site

The hotel welcomes families, and the larger Shahjahan Suites can accommodate up to four people comfortably. There are no specific amenities for younger guests or on-site pools or playgrounds, but the hotel is a wealth of local traditions and a true insight into authentic India with the major sights right on the doorstep.
The hotel’s conservation prevented the loss of this important, architecturally significant building, prioritising heritage appreciation within tourism. The haveli hires staff from the local community and ensures guides and performers are local artisans and historians.
Nestled amid the narrow alleyways, directly behind Jama Masjid, the hotel is right in the heart of the vibrant Chandni Chowk area of Old Delhi offering unparalleled immersion into the Delhi street scene. It’s an easy walk through the bustling spice markets to all the major sights of the old city.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
